President Donald Trump and Emmanual Macron? Judging from the body language, mon ami! The president and Germany's Angela Merkel? Ach, not so chummy.

During Macron's recent three-day trip to Washington, Trump greeted the French president with back-slapping geniality, including a lavish state dinner. The pair went to great lengths to display their affection through hearty handshakes, hugs — and, at times, air kisses.

On Friday, during Merkel's three-hour visit to the White House, she and the president didn't demonstrate the same chemistry, though Trump did greet the chancellor outside the West Wing with a handshake and a peck on each cheek.

Here's a collection of images chronicling the dissimilar welcomes accorded the two foreign leaders.
