trump likes to greet until it hurts his long awkward handshake with japanese premier shinzo abbay reads like a handbook on body language. but you can see how uncomfortable feels he's laughing but it's more a form of stress management. and what's interesting though it comes total lack of empathy because abbe is laughing trump thinks he's enjoying it so he shakes out his hand even harder but in japan when you just smile it's a sign of great unless i want to feel like a. advisors ought to point out such things to the president but they don't seem to have made much headway. trump wouldn't of course at times have been made to coach trump and polish him sadly they've been launching in vain he has no propre a step chin or body self when viewed from finds it very hard to assess the impact of his body language so although you can tell him to change something since he isn't aware of it himself we become changing color self-made and. why is a mere handshake between two statesman of such significance politicians know that their voters want a strong leader so it's important to appear the winner. whe

not long after this brawl the white house announced the trump meeting japanese prime minister shinzo abbay would be leaving the g. seven summit early possibly to avoid a shuttle debate on climate change and the environment reports suggest he already considered staying away from the summit altogether let me join our breathless correspond bent over the good bad the europeans are getting tough as we heard a man in macross suggesting the u.s. could be left out of signing any agreements there could this summit end up being dominated by disputes that the u.s. . suddenly the stage is set now for mess of this play off this transatlantic divide from a european perspective and also from a canadian perspective donald trump is acting like a wrecking ball on the international stage now and there's disagreement in almost every point that the g seven is nobody talking about if it comes to trade if it comes to climate change if it comes to foreign policy there's no common ground anymore and it's very likely that there will be no. resolution or coming statement after this g. seven summit but only a declara

geographically most are at risk japan south korea japan if of course the japanese prime minister shinzo abbay will be here in advance of the singapore summit to make sure that they are not left out of any deal because there are many issues that strategically are of course important regionally as well so a lot to be discussed but it's right now the building of relationships to get that first meeting between the u.s. president and the north korean leader in singapore that seems to be the primary goal yes indeed to many different relationships to take into consideration it's interesting that you mention japan you have also the chinese you have the russians you have. interested parties but of course that the big difference i suppose the contrast between what we're seeing now compared to what we saw in the george w. bush and six party talks is a very bold a bilateral approach being made by president trump he does things differently. he certainly does and this is just another example of that and even some of donald trump's stacia's critics are giving him some credit for getting here to this point n
