A photo of U.S. President Donald Trump flashing his trademark thumbs up alongside Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and their spouses is making waves on both sides of the Pacific.
Released by the White House, the official photograph captures a moment of relaxed diplomacy between the two leaders during a brief meeting on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA80) in New York.
The smiling image shows President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Prime Minister Rabuka, and Suluweti Rabuka standing together, with the U.S. President striking his familiar thumbs-up pose — a gesture often used to signal confidence and approval.
“Suluweti and I had the pleasure of meeting the President of the United States, Mr Donald Trump, and Mrs Melania Trump on the margins of UNGA80,” said Prime Minister Rabuka.
“The brief encounter provided an opportunity to exchange warm greetings and reaffirm the importance of fostering people-to-people connections and friendships between Fiji and the U.S,”
