Body language expert reveals Meloni’s true feelings towards Trump meeting | World | News
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni appeared less than impressed during her first G7 summit with Donald Trump, as a body language expert revealed what was really going on behind the scenes. Meloni was spotted whispering with French President Emmanuel Macron on the opening day of the summit in Canada, while visibly slouching in her chair and rolling her eyes.
Speaking exclusively to the Express on behalf of Oddspedia, celebrity psychic and body language expert Inbaal Honigman said Meloni’s body language revealed her true feelings about the meeting. “Meloni’s physical posture is very revealing of her feelings,” she said.
“She’s not sitting up straight, rather she is slouching in quite an extreme way. It is the opposite of sitting up and paying attention, and is a sign of disinterest.
“In fact, in a professional setting, it is quite disrespectful to slouch, especially this deeply.”
The Italian leader was also seen leaning closely towards French President Emmanuel Macron, with her hand covering most of her face.
“As she’s leaning towards Macron, it shows that she’s dependent on his company to keep her interested,” Honigman explained.
“Her hand is relaxed, not tensed into a fist, which means that she is not feeling stressed, but as the hand is covering most of her face, it is a mark of secrecy, she’s trying not to reveal her true intentions.”
Meloni’s right hand was also spotted fiddling with a pen, another revealing gesture, according to the expert.
“Meloni’s right hand is playing with her pen, showing that she’s feeling bored,” she said.
“Then, Macron whispers something in her ear. Meloni raises her eyebrows, opens her eyes wide and stares at him momentarily, which shows surprise, even disbelief,” Honigman said.
“And then, we see a barely concealed eye roll. The eye roll may suggest boredom and disrespect, both of which she has shown just beforehand.
“Eye rolling would also indicate contempt. The Italian Prime Minister’s facial expression is scornful and fed up.”
Meloni was seen whispering with Macron during day one of the G7 summit in Canada.
The summit, hosted in the Canadian Rockies, has already seen tensions emerge, with Donald Trump refusing to sign joint statements on Israel and Iran.
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to meet the US President later today, where he will push for progress on a delayed UK-US trade agreement.
