In Argentina for an official state visit, on the heels of their historic visit to Cuba, Obama bonded with Argentine President Mauricio Macri, who took office in December.
But the big moment of the night, during the state dinner in Buenos Aires, came after a pair of dancers finished performing for the group and tried to coax the Obamas to the dance floor.
