TAORMINA, Italy \u2014 \u201cA liberal fantasy dream sequence,\u201d \u201ca bromance,\u201d \u201cinsanely romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
The internet was abuzz on Friday with pictures of French President Emmanuel Macron and his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau schmoozing at the G7 summit in Sicily, strolling through flowered walkways and chatting against the backdrop of a sparkling blue Mediterranean sea.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cApparently Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron flew to Sicily for their wedding photoshoot,\u201d netizen @sherlockify joked on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n
The reaction to the telegenic pair\u2019s encounter in the picturesque, hillside town of Taormina, immortalized by Macron himself who tweeted a video of their meeting, provided some light relief from a summit otherwise devoted to thorny issues such as climate change and the threat of extremism.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cThe Franco-Canadian friendship has a new face,\u201d Macron tweeted after sitting down for talks with Trudeau and taking the now famous stroll.<\/p>\n\n
\u201c@JustinTrudeau, it\u2019s up to us to take on the challenges of our generation!\u201d<\/p>\n\n
\u201cSitting down with @EmmanuelMacron for the first time, talking jobs, security & climate\u2014looking forward to more conversations, my friend,\u201d Trudeau responded on Twitter, posting pictures of both smiling, shaking hands, and looking out over the Mediterranean, their dapper suit jackets billowing in the breeze.<\/p>\n\n
Trudeau, 45, is popular with liberals worldwide for his commitment to fighting climate change and easing the refugee crisis\u2014in stark contrast to the United States, Canada\u2019s powerful neighbor.<\/p>\n\n
Macron, 39, has only been in power for 12 days but enjoys similar kudos, particularly abroad where he has been compared to Trudeau.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cThis image of Trudeau and Macron in Sicily is right out of a liberal fantasy dream sequence,\u201d tweeted Dhruva Jaishankar, an expert on foreign policy at the India section of the Brookings Institution think tank.<\/p>\n\n
Others were even more explicit.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cLe swoon, le sigh,\u201d tweeted netizen MissMary, above a photo of both leaders in apparent earnest chat.<\/p>\n\n
