Many of the world's most prominent leaders gathered at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires on Friday, including President Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) — whose interactions have remained firmly in the headlines over recent weeks.

Why it matters: The G20 comes amid multiple international controversies, including Trump's continued pledge to work with Saudi Arabia despite questions surrounding MBS' involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as well as Trump's decision to cancel a one-on-one meeting with Putin citing ongoing conflict in Ukraine.


This friendly handshake between Putin and MBS rocked the Twittersphere:
