These scenes will go down in history: The American demonstration of power towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj was a unique spectacle. The "Krone" spoke to the leading expert on body language, Stephan Verra.

"The setting was something special in terms of body language. Normally, two heads of state sit next to each other in armchairs with the press opposite and then there are a few superficial comments. In this case, the Americans deliberately chose to do things differently," says Verra. The decisive role was played by Vice President JD Vance and not President Donald Trump himself.
