A tense moment unfolded in Alaska as Donald Trump welcomed Vladimir Putin with a dramatic military flyover. Four F-35s and a B-2 Spirit bomber soared overhead as both leaders walked the red carpet.
The meeting, meant to ease tensions over Ukraine, lasted three hours but ended without a peace deal. Trump remained upbeat, saying, “We didn’t get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there.”

Body language expert Inbaal Honigman revealed Putin’s subtle yet chilling reaction. As the jets roared above, Putin’s hand stiffened over his pocket. This “gunslinger” stance, she explained, is rooted in his KGB training. “Even after decades of diplomacy, Putin is always ready for action,” Honigman noted.
Cameras caught Trump smiling proudly, while Putin watched the bombers with sharp focus, nodding in respect when Trump touched his arm. Some experts called the flyover a “power move,” showing America’s strength while signaling uneasy respect.
Moments like these remind us how much world peace can depend on body language, power, and perception. What do you think this gesture really meant?
