Decoding Donald Trump’s body language at the G7 Summit

Everyone seems to be talking about the body language between the US president and other world leaders at the NATO summit, as well as the G7.

Everyone seems to be talking about the body language between the US president and other world leaders at the NATO summit, as well as the G7.

Many of them are meeting Donald Trump for the first time. One clip, in particular, where President Trump appears to have pushed the Prime Minister of Montenegro aside on Thursday – so he can be photographed standing in the front, ignited a social media storm.

Some are saying it was a just a friendly gesture that we’ve all experienced. Nothing to see here.

Plenty of people are also talking about French President Emmanuel Macron, who swerved out of the way to greet the leaders of Germany, NATO, Belgium and then President Trump, where he received that signature handshake.

 

And handshakes aside, one of the big takeaways from the NATO summit, also dominating much of the G7 talks, is about terrorism and migration.
