CBS News reports that the Prime Minister of Montenegro Dusko Markovich said he did not even notice how US President Donald Trump pushed him before the start of a joint photo session at a meeting of NATO leaders in Brussels.

Markovich said: "I really did not pay attention to it, only then I saw the reaction in social networks". He added: "Obviously, this was a completely innocuous situation, and I do not see anything else in this. Today I had a great opportunity to personally thank President Trump for his support and prompt ratification by the Senate of the protocol (on Montenegro's accession to NATO), for all-round assistance to the United States in integrating Montenegro into NATO and for developing our bilateral relations ".

He finished:

"I also want to say that it is natural for the President of the United States to be in the front row".

As reported on the video, which was filmed at the moment when the guests of the meeting in Brussels were preparing for a general photo, it is noticeable how Trump, going behind the Prime Minister of Montenegro, sharply pushes him aside to go ahead, and then resolutely shakes off his jacket and Converses with the President of Lithuania, as if not noticing Markovich.
