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.
