US President Donald Trump breaks the protocol and touched the queen it is reported. It happened when the queen was raising the toast for the visiting President. This happened when the President attended the banquet hosted by the queen. The President touched Queen Elizabeth from the back while she was raising the toast for the President it is reported. The video has already gone viral and the people in political circles are discussing this.
Is this really the violation of protocol is the question now. Trump, on the other hand, hailed the efforts of Queen and he also mentioned about the bonding between the US and UK.
While Trump is 72, Queen Elizabeth is 93 years old. Some of them termed the touching of the President as a warm and affection towards the queen. But there are people who pointed out that it was a violation of the protocol with the queen.
Appears no one at @StateDept briefed Trump on Queen protocall. From press pool: "As the Queen rose to give the formal toast, Trump appeared to lightly touch her back with his left hand, as seen on the pool feed from the front.
Protocol dictates that one doesn’t touch the queen."— Heather Timmons (@HeathaT) June 3, 2019
