Original Note:
Ignoring a handshake is deemed to be impolite and rude. Refusing to shake hands in front of the public and media could trigger a diplomatic incident and take the focus away from why the statesmen meet in the first place. The UK was not at war with Germany in 1938. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/politics/2014/04/obama-would-save-putin-from-drowning https://eladsi.medium.com/the-woman-who-refused-to-shake-president-bidens-hand-211ac731c1c0
