Social media could not be having more fun with Donald Trump meeting Justin Trudeau

It was only a matter of time before the most loveable world leader would have to meet his controversial new next-door neighbour.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the White House on Monday for his first meeting with newly-installed US President Donald Trump.

The world leaders discussed US-Canada trade and relations. But, of course, the meeting's real purpose was providing Twitter users with various awkward photographs ripe for a satirical caption or 10, as the progressive, pro-refugee, feminist politician met with a man who was elected off the back of a sexual assault scandal and a plan to crack down on border control.
