Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump met for the third time in seven years in Alaska. They were there to talk about the Russia-Ukraine war situation and concessions. Trump sought to broker a ceasefire agreement and act as a mediator. But that didn’t take place.
After shaking hands, the two concluded their encounter and boarded their aircraft. Their meeting and shared hopes were the main topics of their news conference. Trump referred to Putin as the boss.
Some referred to this as disappointing and claimed that Donald Trump had ceded his authority. However, a body language specialist claims that Trump exuded confidence. His body language conveys confidence as he holds his head high and shoulders back.
Trump also made intense eye contact with him, looking him in the eye, according to body language expert Nia Williams. He appeared attentive and involved in the discussion.
Furthermore, Trump’s eyes were filled with approval when Putin complimented him. There was mutual respect between them, and their power dynamics were clear.

Their head nods, eye contact, mutual respect, comfort, intimacy, control, and domination are all key components of their power dynamics. Putin’s demeanor was likewise quite laid back around Trump. He demonstrated power and leadership with a still arm.
In addition to being upset, earlier spectators observed that Donald Trump appeared exhausted following the meeting. His voice was croaky when he spoke to the public, and he appeared quite exhausted at the press conference.
Additionally, he made an effort to brag about the meeting, claiming that it was a success and that they were moving forward. There were no significant agreements or advancements between the two, though.
It sounded like a prearranged Trump publicity effort. Since he turned to face Putin’s podium and waited for it, Trump knew that Putin’s flattering tirade, in which he spouts that the conflict would not have happened if Trump had been in charge, was about to begin.This tweet, https://t.co/winEP73wdRpic, is posted at 53ZT4iI1wH.

Since this peace agreement did not materialize, they might get together again soon to talk about another one. Although they had a respectful time together, their time together ended without a ceasefire agreement. Trump responded to Putin’s invitation to visit Moscow by saying, “That’s interesting, and he sees it happening.”
