A photo(picture) of Boris Johnson(美国版的特朗普) sticking(putting, 随意的放) his foot on a table during talks in Paris with the French president triggered(扣动扳机,引发,引起) unflattering comments(负面评论) on social media.
But users on both sides of the Channel(英吉利海峡) who called the UK prime minister's actions insulting(不得体unflattering) might have been jumping to conclusions(太过草率,过早下结论).
A video appears to show Mr Johnson was responding to a joke by his host.
