An expert in the field of body language has revealed exactly how French President Emmanuel Macron succeeded in placing Donald Trump in his place during their 'handshake Martial Arts' in the White House yesterday.
The two world leaders gathered in the White House to discuss the future of Ukraine, and the role that Europe and the US have in the Peace Foundation process in the bloodiest conflict on European soil in decades.
The uncomfortable 'Death Clasp' pressures of the duo have become viral over the years, with images from 2017 who follow the two leaders with the hand of the hands for 29 seconds.
First meeting outside the White House for a press conference yesterday afternoon, the couple grabbed each other for an unbearable 12 seconds while they reunited and posed for photos.
The second uncomfortable encounter took place in Trump's Oval Office, when the American president screamed about the French leader and put his hand on his leg, making Macron the physical contact in a different handshake.
Later the third uncomfortable shake of the day happened during a press conference, which seemed to show Trump that Macron's arm turned strange before they closed fists and stood opposite the audience.
Body language expert Judi James told MailOnline that the couple was involved in three rounds of 'Handshake Martial Arts' to indicate to the world that was the top dog.
The first big movement was that Macron turned the classic 'Shake and Yank' technique from Trump against him.

'Macron hits his left hand over the closure to suggest control and then performs a Trump classic, the' Shake and Yank ', where the closure is suddenly and relatively violently pulled forward or backwards, so that your' opponent 'is damped by Taking them by taking them off-balance, “said Judi.
“Here Macron is running back and forces Trump to lean forward while Macron positions his hand on top of the Clasp,” she added.
'While the two men turn around to face the cameras, Trump holds a grim grip on Macron's hand, forcing the shake to last a few seconds and several extra shakes longer. We can see how this sturdy buckle looks more like a struggle than on a gesture of mutual respect. '
When it tried to put a crime on Macron's knee in the Oval Office, James said.
'Trump used his own de-stabilizing blob ritual when he placed a hand on Macron's knee in an inclusion gesture that could also see the fund in an elderly way. Macron fought back by placing his own hand on top, creating one of the strangest buckles of their meeting, “she said.
James added: 'The more regular shake during this meeting included a strong hand conversation that was mutual and a number close to eye contact that, again, suggested friendship, but that actually seemed closer to the kind of Stare Boksers to intimidate their opponents during a road .
'Trump held out his hand in a more horizontal position with Macron's hand lying on top. This would give Trump the impression of adjustment, invitation and power, but Macron the suggestion of steering or leading, so a no-score draw for this. '
During the press conference in the Oval Office, Macron raised eyebrows by correcting Trump to his claim that Europe had already provided his help to Ukraine as loans.

James said about this moment: 'The biggest' tell 'came when Macron lifted a hand in the direction of Trump to stop and correct him about a point he made during the press conference.
'It was a disrespectful -looking gesture of superior authority and knowledge, and it came with an authoritative raised forefinger who had already been waved in the direction of Trump during their press conversation.
“Trump grinned and stuck a hand in a shaking gesture of disagreement and evaluation, which suggests that he would let that one pass because he was in a good mood.”
Their last embrace in the White House was one who tried to show 'toughness and physical strength'.
'The buckle between the boxes in the White House in the lessons in the lessons is a Warrior ritual, which suggests that one warrior greets the other with a representation of toughness and physical strength.
'It is shameless macho and the judgments that occur gives the impression of defining power that can also be turned against each other. It is both men who want to suggest that they enter their meeting in a position of superior strength. '
James added that the entire episode indicated that global politics would probably return to a time of dominance and power projection.
“Unfortunately, it implies a return to the Jurassic Alpha -mine shows or leadership through strength and physical power instead of intellect and empathy,” she told MailOnline.

'The key to symbolism in this long ritual is to remember that Macron is the world leader who initially won the battle for power shakes with Trump the first time when they had one of their earliest meetings during the first term of Trump in the office.
'Trump was a serial power shaker who liked to register Alfa, physical dominance through his impressive back catalog of alarming bones and throbbing rituals.
'But Macron had clearly prepared with a small weight training because he grabbed Trump's hand so hard that you could see the circumference of his fingers in the flesh of Trump's hand a few moments afterwards.
'With the eyes and fate of the world currently resting on their shoulders, this latest handshake greeting would always be littered with signals of superior power and dominance.
'The Rictus Grijnst that is being performed should not distract from the real action that takes place at waist height. Both men would like to register superiority here and both men are experts in the skill of handshake Martial Arts. '
