In a press conference held in US, President Doanld Trump shared his experience of meeting with Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar and how he greeted him with Namaste instead of handshake during the meet amid coronavirus spread. Trump said, “We (him and PM of Ireland) didn't shake hands today and we looked at each other and said what are we going to do? Sort of a weird feeling. We did this (joined hands). I just got back from India and I didn't shake any hands there. It was easy.” Donald Trump further said, “It is very possible for the Olympics maybe, I just cannot see having no people there, in other words, not allowing people. Maybe and this is just my idea, maybe they postpone it for a year.”
