According to a body language specialist, new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has already taken the gloves off after positioning himself as the man to challenge President Donald Trump during his campaign
Trump welcomed Carney to the White House at noon on May 6th, but not before launching a devastating post against Canada on Truth Social.
“I look forward to meeting the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney,” wrote the politician. “I very much want to work with him,
But cannot understand one simple TRUTH — Why is America subsidizing Canada by $200 Billion Dollars a year, in addition to giving them FREE Military Protection, and many other things?”
Trump’s article went on to say: “Aside from their friendship, which we intend to always have, we don’t need their cars, energy, lumber, or anything else they currently own.
Conversely, they require EVERYTHING from us! My biggest concern about the consequences will probably be that the Prime Minister will be arriving soon.
Carney has also used some combative language of his own, saying to his supporters in Ottawa in the past: “America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country – never. I’ve been warning for months.”
“However, these threats are not in vain; President Trump is attempting to destroy us so that America may own us, but that will never,
Ever take place. However, we also have to acknowledge that our environment has undergone significant transformation.
Body language expert Beth Dawson has now clarified what she believes transpired when the 78-year-old
President of the United States received the 60-year-old prime minister of Canada on the White House steps today.
According to Dawson: “Mark Carney puts a hand on President Trump’s elbow and shakes hands with him while cocking his head slightly forward. Although it conveys authority, the forward head stance also subtly conveys submission: Carney looks a little nervous.
However, the elbow touch indicates that he wishes to build a relationship on equal footing. He had a determined look on his face.
Although Carney is not passive, he does appear a little afraid and is cautious not to come out as extremely strong.
“Although he is clearly determined to avoid dominance, his posture conveys respect for the interaction. A certain amount of deference is evident in the little dip of his head.
Trump ‘raises his right shoulder’ as Carney taps his elbow, according to the body language expert, which she describes as a ‘typical dominance indication’.
Dawson went on to say: “Trump’s stance is first a little bent, suggesting a friendly stance, but he quickly shifts to a more
Upright position and lifts his fist in a rebellious gesture, an obvious demonstration of power.”Throughout, Carney maintains a fixed smile and steady eye contact.”
Dawson claims he ‘clasps his hands in a self-soothing motion and glances up at Trump for cues’ when facing the cameras, which she describes as “again revealing a hint of unease.”
“There is a visible, if restrained, sense that he is slightly intimidated in Trump’s presence.” Dawson goes on.
Speaking inside the Oval Office, Trump praised his campaign for office after telling Carney it was “an honor” to have him there.
“I thought you were excellent [in the election race] and I think we have a lot of things in common,” Trump stated.”I still believe
[Canada could be the 51st] state, but it takes two to tango,” he said Carney, expressiAccording to the BBC, a former banker responded, “Some places are never for sale,” to the statement that “it would really be a wonderful marriage because it’s two places that get along very well.”
