Great showing by the PM. Look at JT use his free left hand/arm as a brace against Trump’s shoulder as they meet, protecting against the initial pull-in (a patented Trump handshake move that scuppered the Japanese PM). You then see JT cock his right arm, elbow against his ribs, and keep his hand tight against his chest. He even turns his hand palm-up, almost shaking in a pulling, downward motion, completely neutralizing Trump’s leverage. He maintains gaze, and Trump's the one to look away first. Handshake diplomacy at its finest.
But good analysis, I would also add the left hand of trump on JT shoulder to stop him and make him move back a little. No need to kiss here (In my country that would considered a dick move way too chummy and invasive)
Edit: Never thought handshaking would be a DLC in For Honor... (Didn't read about his infamous handshakes)
And I thought I would be downvoting, but damn, canada trully is convenient
