On May 6, Donald Trump welcomed Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, to the White House for their first official meeting after Carney’s April 28 election win. According to a lip reader, Trump congratulated Carney on a “perfect” win and quickly directed him to “turn your face and wave over there,” which Carney reportedly followed without hesitation. Trump later told Vice President JD Vance, “I admire him.”
Body language expert Beth Dawson noted Carney showed confidence with a hint of submission, while Trump projected dominance.
