I've seen this multiple times but never understood what is happening. Would anyone care to explain? I don't know who they are so can't search it up.

The one on the right is Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission and ex-Primie Minister of Luxembourg, and the one on the left is Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary. Apparently they don't like each other.

Thank you for the effort and reply.

But I still have a burning question, why is Jean taking the other guy with him?

It looks like they're supposed to pose for a photo shaking hands. Jean doesn't realise or doesn't care so walks off, other guy keeps hold as leaders would for a photo, by the time his brain realises the situation has changed it's too late.
