At the Alaska summit press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin projected calm dominance while Donald Trump’s body language turned visibly awkward and stressed.
Putin, stoic and composed, dismissed tough questions with subtle gestures and a poker-faced authority, even suggesting their next meeting in Moscow.
Trump, however, appeared tense—his drooped shoulders, blushing, narrowed eyes, and erratic gestures clashed with his verbal claims of “great progress.” Analysts noted Trump’s handshakes, nervous protective postures, and abrupt responses as signs of vulnerability.
Critics called the optics a “clash of alphas” where Trump yielded dominance, reinforcing the summit’s failure after closed-door talks ended without a ceasefire or peace deal.
Despite millions spent on security and ceremony, Trump left Alaska looking unsettled, fueling perceptions that the summit legitimized Putin without concessions and left Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize dream in tatters.
