President Donald Trump got hugs from two children when he and the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison walked over to the people gathered at the White House to welcome Morrison, who is on a week-long visit to the United States.

As Morrison and Trump made their way down the line of handshakes, a young boy in a gray suit and tie couldn’t visibly contain his excitement of being so close to the president. When the president came closer he leaned over to hug him and Trump reciprocated.
