Did President Donald Trump just shove the prime minister of Montenegro, Duško Marković?

A newly released video clip appears to show President Trump shoving the prime minister out of the way as he makes his way to the front of a group of NATO leaders during a trip to NATO’s headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, on Thursday.
At the beginning of the clip, Trump can be seen in the middle of the group until he suddenly moves Marković out of the way and positions himself at the front.

While no one can be 100 percent sure what exactly happened – Prime Minister Marković himself might not even know – Twitter users had a lot to say about Trump’s barge to the front:

Dear Montenegro: We Americans do not all act like entitled playground bullies. With apologies for our classless president. #Trumpshove #NATO

America’s 45th president was at NATO’s headquarters to deliver a speech at a ceremony to dedicate a memorial to NATO’s resolve after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. During his speech, Trump criticized NATO members that weren’t paying their fair share in defense funding, saying that it wasn’t “fair” to the U.S. taxpayers.
