Angel Merkel is a leader that has always made her feelings clear.
And now it seems the German chancellor cannot hide her feelings towards US presidents.
Ms Merkel, 64, played host to former US president Barack Obama in Berlin today - and the pair were spotted in a warm embrace after a meeting at the German Chancellery.

This is in stark contrast to the reception she has given President Donald Trump in the past, with an awkward stare across a table being a recent example.
Obama, 57, has even said Ms Merkel was one of his 'favourite partners' during his time in office and his last international trip as president was to Germany in November 2016.
A year later, the former Democratic Party leader told a crowd in Berlin of the 'outstanding work' across the world Ms Merkel had undertaken.
