GB News presenters Andrew Pierce and Bev Turner have commented on the "awkward body language" between Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump at the NATO summit in The Hague.
The pair, who were positioned next to each other for a photograph, immediately walked away after the picture was taken with Trump seemingly turning his back on the UK Prime Minister.
Speaking about the moment, Andrew said: "Starmer doesn't know whether to dive in. Bad body language, Trump is talking to other people but not him.
"There's Starmer just sort of hanging around. Maybe he's waiting to see if the President drops some papers on the floor so he can scrabble onto the floor and pick them up again."
The hosts pointed out the "awkward body language" between Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump at the NATO summit in The Hague.

Co-host Bev Turner agreed: "It is just so awkward."
The encounter occurred at a NATO summit in The Hague, where tensions were already running high over defence commitments and America's stance on the alliance.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Trump arrived in Amsterdam last night, refusing to stay more than a single night and preparing to leave early as he has done at previous international gatherings.
The US President has cast doubt on NATO's Article 5 clause, which guarantees collective defence. When asked about his commitment on Air Force One, he said: "Depends on your definition. There are numerous definitions of Article 5."
He added: "I'm committed to being their friends. I'm committed to saving lives. I'm committed to life and safety. And I'm going to give you an exact definition when I get there."
This marks the second meeting between Starmer and Trump in recent weeks, following their encounter at the G7 summit in Canada.

Andrew pointed out the positioning might not help Starmer with Labour supporters, stating: "The base of the Labour Party despise Donald Trump and everything he stands for."
Bev added that Trump is "very popular with the people in this country who might be thinking that they would vote for Nigel Farage, Reform Party at the next election."
The Prime Minister was deliberately placed beside Trump for the official group photograph at the gathering. He also sat next to the US President during formal discussions.
At last week's G7, Starmer publicly expressed doubt that Trump would proceed with the attacks. After the strikes occurred, he emphasised that Britain had not been involved and was "absolutely focused on de-escalation".

Foreign Secretary David Lammy repeatedly declined to say whether the strikes were the "right thing to do", telling MPs that British support was not a "binary question".
The US did not request permission to use Diego Garcia as a staging post for the operation.
However, Starmer attempted to shift his stance yesterday following news of a tentative ceasefire.
He said: "I think what we've seen over the last few days is the Americans alleviating a threat to nuclear weaponry by the Iranians and bringing about a ceasefire."
