Obama and Putin's 'death stare' at G20 triggers hilarious photoshop battle
When US President Barack Obama met Russian premier Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in China, the two were seen giving each other an icy stare, reflecting the cold and strained ties between the two countries who failed to reach an agreement over the current situation in Syria.
