The Internet is just going crazy over an image posted on social media that shows former US President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dining together at Montreal’s Liverpool House restaurant on Tuesday night. The picture shows Obama and Trudeau deep in conversation in the restaurant.
 
“Tonight in Montreal, @BarackObama and @JustinTrudeau discussed their shared commitment to developing the next generation of leaders,” the Obama Foundation shared on Twitter along with the photo of the pair at the table. 
Trudeau tweeted a similar photo, writing: “How do we get young leaders to take action in their communities? Thanks @BarackObama for your visit & insights tonight in my hometown.”
 
During this meeting, the world leaders discussed how to get young people active in their communities. Obama was in Montreal speaking at the Montreal Chamber of Commerce, where he criticised Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement.

“Obviously I’m disappointed with the current American administration decision to pull out of Paris,” Obama said during a speech at the Montreal Chamber of Commerce.
 
Social media was flooded with comments from all corners after the image went viral on the internet. People couldn't help but wonder what the two leaders were discussing.
 
"#Squadgoals and #BFFGoals were among the hashtags used in the comments section of the picture on social media. "The bromance lives on," joked one person on Instagram.
