As Obama and Berlusconi arrived for a G8 group photo, the Italian premier offered his hand to the American leader, only for the president to carry on walking and seemingly ignore it. The White House on Wednesday denied that Obama intended any kind of snub to his host.

James Walston, a political science professor at the American University of Rome, said: “There is definitely something there. The comments on integrity are a very mild swipe at all the things that are going on.”
