they are probably talking about the handshake when he got out of the car & refused to be jerked off balance by Trump.

President Donald Trump has a weird way of shaking hands. His herky-jerky grappling style sometimes makes it look like hes fighting with the other person, and maybe even trying to rip their arm out of its socket. But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared prepared for an uncomfortable greeting when he visited the White House on Monday.
A video of Trump welcoming Trudeau shows the prime minister quickly grasping the presidents shoulder with his left arm, seemingly bracing for a potential pull. Trudeau then brings the handshake close and toward his center, cutting off Trumps leverage and ensuring that his shoulder remains intact.

By the time of the shots in the tweet of the OP, Trump had enough of Justin's handshake:
