A body language expert believes Vladimir Putin<\/a> gave away three key signs he will be in charge during today’s high-profile meeting with Donald Trump<\/a>. The eagerly awaited visited kicked off with Putin disembarking from his flight to Alaska and walking along a long red carpet to meet the US President.<\/p>\n

On the face of it, they exchanged cordial, even warm greetings – but body language expert Inbaal Honigman<\/a>, speaking on behalf of Oddspedia<\/a>, said there were telltale signs lurking just under the surface which suggested the Russian leader was the “dominant party.” She explained: “First and foremost, it is the Russian president’s hand which is on top.<\/p>\n

“His palm embraces the US president’s hand warmly, tightly, in a close manner that indicates that the two men are pleased to see each other.<\/p>\n

“But Trump’s hand is at the bottom of the arrangement. Secondly, Putin’s raised forefinger is another mark of dominance. It commands attention.<\/p>\n

“This is not a finger of anger or mistrust. In fact, there is a friendliness in Putin’s gesture.<\/p>\n

“As he raises his pointer, the rest of his digits are curled but aren’t tight in a fist, rather they are hanging loose. He appears to trust Trump, but is still in charge of the exchange.<\/p>\n

“And thirdly, Trump’s head is cocked to the side, whereas Putin’s is level. The former businessman’s tilted head exposes his ear, which is an indication of his willingness to listen.”<\/p>\n

Significantly, Putin was “gazing straight ahead”, Ms Honigman pointed out.<\/p>\n

She explained: “He’s not here to listen but to speak.<\/p>\n

“Both heads of state are displaying genuine, matching smiles which touch their cheeks and eyes.<\/p>\n

“They’re sincerely happy to meet. As they mirror each other’s facial expressions, they are planning to agree with one another.”<\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s meeting with Vladimir Putin<\/a> in Alaska today is their first since Putin ordered his invasion of Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the talks will focus on a potential Ukraine<\/a> ceasefire and controversial territorial concessions.<\/p>\n

However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> was apparently not invited and is not in attendance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A body language expert believes Vladimir Putin gave away three key signs he will be in charge during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347727,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[32,13,12,332,14,333],"class_list":{"0":"post-347726","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-russia","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-vladimir-putin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115035368463603777","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/347727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
