A state funeral for former U.S. President Jimmy Carter (in office from 1977 to 1981), who was called ‘the greatest former president,’ was held at the Washington National Cathedral on the 9th (local time). What received particular attention at the event where all five current and former presidents attended was the meeting between former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump, who were famous for their ‘bad relationship’. They sat right next to each other and talked head to head, drawing the media’s attention.
On the 10th, the New York Post and the Mirror reported the results of an analysis of what they had been talking about, quoting Jeremy Freeman, an expert in lipreading (the art of determining what is being said through the shape of the lips). According to this, President-elect Trump told former President Obama, “I withdrew it. That was the situation. He is presumed to have said, “Can you believe it?” Freeman said the two appear to have been involved in policy decisions during Trump’s first term, but the exact details have not been confirmed. Obama laughed at Trump’s words.
Afterwards, while President-elect Trump was saying “and after, I will,” the camera screen switched to others. When the two were again on camera, Trump leaned toward Obama and said, “I can’t talk right now.” We need to find a quiet place. “This is an important issue and we need to deal with it outside,” he was quoted as saying. Afterwards, Obama was caught nodding his head to Trump’s words.
Some even inferred the possibility that the conversation between the two was related to an international agreement. Trump has a history of withdrawing from the Iran nuclear agreement and the Paris climate agreement while serving as the 45th president. Regarding the video of the two going viral, President-elect Trump told NBC News, “I was surprised that we looked very friendly in the video. We were different philosophically, but we got along well.” There was no mention of the content of the conversation.
