Multiple outlets describe a moment during Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The reporting focuses on visual observations of Trump’s handshake and the positioning of his hands and fingers, with claims that the interaction involved a “five-tap” or patterned tap sequence. The articles also describe facial expressions, including references to a “bullfrog smile,” suggesting that Trump’s demeanor appeared to change during his eye contact with Xi. The coverage does not present official confirmation of any specific signaling method, and it relies primarily on interpretation of images and appearances from the encounter. Overall, the reports emphasize that the scene is being analyzed for possible coded communication in the handshake, but the factual basis for determining intent or meaning is not established in the cited accounts. The meeting setting, eye contact, and handshake movements are consistently referenced as the key elements driving the claims.
