That Ernest Moniz-John Kerry High Five Was ‘Just About Crepes’

A picture of John Kerry and Ernest Moniz high-fiving in Lausanne, Switzerland, was used all over the place and taken by many as a sign that negotiations were going well but really it was “just about the crepes,” according to Moniz, who was asked about the March picture during an Esquire interview.

“John was coming out of a crepe restaurant that I had introduced him to some days earlier as I was heading there for lunch,” explains Moniz. “And he came out, a big, beaming smile on his face, and we did a double high-five.”

“Pictures all over the place. ‘They must have a deal.’ "

"It was just about the crepes.”
