A body language expert has given their thoughts on a moment of \u2018disbelief\u2019 during peace talks at the Oval Office between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On February 28, the Ukrainian president traveled to\u00a0Washington DC<\/a>\u00a0to meet with\u00a0President Trump<\/a>\u00a0and his Vice President JD Vance\u2026and things didn\u2019t go so well.<\/p>\n

Trump has been seen inviting several heads of state to the White House, such as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and France’s Emmanuel Macron, and while they went as well as can be expected, his meeting with\u00a0Zelenskyy<\/a>\u00a0wasn\u2019t great.<\/p>\n

Not only did the 78-year-old\u00a0accuse Zelenskyy of ‘gambling with World War 3’<\/a>\u00a0due to the country’s war with Russia, he was also seen with \u2018aggressive arousal\u2019 and red faced as the pair shouted at one another.<\/p>\n

“You don’t have the cards right now,” Trump stated to the Ukrainian. “With us, you start having cards … You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people! You’re gambling with World War 3! You’re gambling with World War 3. And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country \u2014 this country.”<\/p>\n

Judi James, a body language expert has since thrown her two cents into the mix of some moments during the talks that showed \u2018disbelief\u2019, and if you\u2019ve not watched the conversation, you\u2019ll be interested to see what she\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n

Take a peek:<\/p>\n

According to James, Vice President JD Vance played the ‘wingman\u2019 in the scenario, pulling no punches and making sure to rile up the Ukrainian leader as Trump cannot be seen to act this way.<\/p>\n

Speaking with DailyMail.com,\u00a0she said\u00a0<\/a>that Vance was ‘like the grain of sand that irritates the oyster to produce the pearl’ when arguing with Zelenskyy, stating: \u201cIn animal terms it would be appropriate for a wingman to get into a verbal conflict but not the alpha, who cannot be replaced or be seen losing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, so when\u00a0Trump joined in the argument<\/a>\u00a0and stopped the two men from shouting, there was obvious frustration around the room.<\/p>\n

But disbelief?<\/p>\n

You\u2019d better believe it.<\/p>\n

James explained it was when Trump lost his cool and began to get heated that he showed the body language signs of being baffled by Zelenskyy\u2019s words.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cTrump finally stepped in, taking the battle-baton from JD with a ‘No no no!’ and a raising of both hands to stop the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving called himself a global peace-maker it was ironic to see him try to break up a junior verbal spat only to end up slugging away himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump’s weapon of choice was the raised index finger or ultimate authority. It’s a strong commanding gesture that usually gets obeyed but here it failed to stop the row, with both Trump and Zelenskyy raising their voices in an overlap of shouting.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained: \u201cTrump shouted that Zelenskyy was ‘gambling with WW3’ His face became red with his state of aggressive arousal, and he frowned in what looked like disbelief.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he accused Zelenskyy of being ‘disrespectful’ his features pinched into a micro-sneer of anger.\u201d<\/p>\n

The argument was quite unlike anything we’d ever been seen in the Oval Office before, and people at home got to watch in shock as three politicians screamed at each other and fought to have the last word.<\/p>\n
