There was much speculation at the G7 summit about whether the leaders would be able to agree on enough to issue a joint communiqué, given serious differences over trade and climate change policies.
Those differences were apparently hashed out in a late-night session Friday and another on Saturday morning, which yielded the photo above, posted on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Instagram account.
Trump's social media director, Dan Scavino Jr., tweeted the moment as well, showing a seated Trump surrounded by the other leaders and advisers.
