The special moment was instantly shared on television and across social media platforms.
CNN interviewed the girl and this is what she had to say:
"We were waiting for her to come and she asked my name and for how long I have been waiting and I asked her if I can have a hug. It was an amazing moment. I'm still shaking. I can't explain the feeling when she did it but it was really nice. I felt like I needed to (hug her). I look up to her and it felt like the right thing to do. I had to show her that she is welcome here. I had to hug her for everything that has happened."
