Putin reacts to Trump's show of force

Published: | Updated: Russian President Vladimir Putin looked startled as U.S. fighter jets flew above him, as Donald Trump put on a spectacular military show of force to kick off their high-stakes meeting. The reaction came just moments after Putin shook Trump 's hand in their first face-to-face meeting since 2018. One B-2 bomber and four F-35 fighter jets flew above Putin and Trump as they walked to the U.S. president's motorcade waiting for them in Alaska. The Russian leader appeared shocked as the jets took off, pausing his walk to look up overhead. Meanwhile, Trump appeared unfazed as he clapped his hands together in celebration after the jets took off in the sky. The B-2 Bomber is one of the most advanced aircraft in the entire U.S. military arsenal. On Friday afternoon, the two world leaders shook hands after flying into Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. Before arriving at the meeting, Trump told Fox News anchor Bret Baier that he would leave the summit 'very quickly' if he believed a deal could not be made with Putin. After shaking Trump's hand, Putin joined the president in his 'Beast' vehicle rather than departing in his own Russian motorcade.
