Canada. Body language of Prime Minister of Canada Marek Carney during a meeting with Donald Trump, “she spoke for herself”

On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney met with US President Donald Trump in the White House. The media pay attention to the speech of the Canadian body leader during a conversation with Trump in the oval office.

During the meeting with Donald Trump in the oval office, Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that Canada It is not for sale. – As you know, there are places in the real estate industry that are never for sale. We are sitting in one right now. Buckingham Palace, which you visited, is also one of them. And after (my) meeting with the owners of Canada during the campaign for the last few months (I know that) Canada is also not for sale – said Carney, answering the question about the possible joining of his country to the USA.

The British Sky News portal said that Carney's body language during the meeting “she spoke for itself”, and the answer to the question “seemed well prepared”. The new Canada Prime Minister, however, had a “problem finding words” when the issue of customs was raised. However, describing Carney's reaction to Trump's suggestion, to “never speak” in the context of Canada's annexation, the portal noticed that “body language (Canada Prime Minister) said a lot: clenched jaw, a raised hand several times in the attempt to interfere and say quietly two words” never, never, “.

An expert with a “risk” during a meeting with Trump

An expert in the field of body speech by Mark Bowden in an interview with the Canadian CTV News portal assessed that Trump showed “a certain level of respect” for Carney during the Monday meeting. – Of course, the risk is always associated with the handshake with Trump, it can upset. We've seen it many times, ”Bowden pointed out. – In this particular situation (Trump) he did not try to upset Carney, which suggests that he perceives him as a fairly strong person as someone he should respect – the expert added.

Bowden said that the Canadian delegation probably wanted to avoid such a confrontation as during Meetings of the presidents of the USA and Ukraine in February. “I think that Carney's tactics consisted of remaining as dispassionate and immovable as possible,” said Bowden, pointing to the “frequent” clamping of the mouth by Prime Minister Canada, which “we often associate with hiding opinions.”

This gesture will not stop Trump

The expert noticed that the Canadian prime minister could do more to join the conversation with the US president. The latter was to “dominate” the dialogue in the oval office, while Carney raised his hand several times without reaching the voice. “His finger will not stop Trump, so he must create larger gestures to speak,” Bowden pointed out.
