British Prime Minister Teresa Mae and German Chancellor Angela Merkel burst into laughter as they read their pictures on a tablet, wearing the same suit and the same color as they answered questions from their parliamentarians earlier in the day. They were also co-chaired by European Council President Donald Tusk and Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Beetle, who gathered around the table for a laugh. This happened during a meeting of European leaders in Brussels to discuss the extension of Britain's exit from the European Union.

It is likely that this laugh has turned the atmosphere for Mai, who spent a few moments tense at this summit. Other footage at previous summits has shown itself awkwardly, while its European Union colleagues have greeted each other warmly, and many analysts have seen it as a complete projection of Britain's exit from the European Union.

Late last year there was a heated confrontation between European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Mai in one of the pictures. Lip readers and Twitter users thought Mai was quarreling with Unker, describing it as "vague." But Mai refuted that, saying she was referring to the "general level of discussion." "I did not point to it, but to the comprehensive debate in Britain," Juncker said. He also said that the use of this term came from his misunderstanding, because English is not his first language: «I did not know that this word (ambiguous) is in English». "I can not see where the British Parliament is heading, which is why I said this (vague) and (foggy) in English," he said. He explained that relations between him and Mai remained good.
