United States President Barack Obama and ??? ??? ??? ??? ??Russian President Vladimir Putin shared a tense moment at the G-20 summit in China on Monday. Cameras snapped the two locking eyes in what appears to be an intense starring contest.
While it's reported that the two spoke after the uncomfortable stare, the photo became an instant conversation given the tense relationship between the two countries recently.
