Inside the "Beast," Putin was sitting in the back seat on the left, and some released images showed him smiling. Trump, on the other hand, was sitting on the right...
Although the meeting between Trump and Putin will no longer be private, as originally planned, during their limousine ride, the two leaders were alone, without a translator.
And so, during the approximately 10 minutes it took the two to get to the meeting place (where they are accompanied by two advisors each), the two were able to talk for a while alone. Only the driver and a security guard were in the car.
Of course, it is impossible to know what the two leaders said to each other: this could add to the mystery of what the two leaders discuss privately during this visit, very similar to a conversation they had in Hamburg in 2017, at the beginning of Trump's first term.
It is extremely unusual to see the leaders of two superpowers traveling in the same car.
Inside the "Beast," Putin was seated in the back seat on the left, and several released images showed him smiling. Trump, on the other hand, was seated on the right.
Russian state media RIA Novosti reported that Trump invited Putin to join him in his vehicle and the Russian president accepted. Russia 24 noted that this signaled that discussions between the leaders had already begun.
Body language
The image was striking: a smiling Vladimir Putin, looking out the window of President Donald Trump's armored limousine, as they passed a cluster of cameras from the runway in Alaska.
So far, the body language at Friday's summit has been anything but cold. As Putin approached Trump on the red carpet, the US president clapped several times to welcome him to American soil for the first time in 10 years. The two shook hands and walked together to Trump's limousine.
Later, as they sat down for their meeting, both Trump and Putin smiled a few times, though Trump was mostly scowling.
The Russian president is known for conveying his way of thinking through his posture. Former American presidents have commented on his habit of leaning back in his chair while they speak, a sign of his disinterest.
He wasn't hunched over in Alaska. Instead, he sat forward in his chair as the meeting unfolded, hands clasped, as cameras clicked and reporters asked unanswered questions loudly.
