Part of: How long will Trump and Xi shake hands when they meet?

Will Trump and Xi handshake last 10–15 seconds during the day of their next meeting in 2026?

This Polymarket prediction market asks whether the longest filmed handshake between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping on the day of their next meeting in 2026 will last 10–15 seconds. It resolves based on video evidence from that meeting date, with “No Handshake” applying if no handshake occurs or no meeting happens by December 31, 2026. PolySpotter is tracking $2,346 in smart money activity and 1 recent signal, including a “92% winner buying Yes” alert.

This market will resolve according to the length of the longest filmed handshake between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping during the day of their next meeting in 2026 (in the local timezone of the location of their next meeting). Any handshake recorded on that date will qualify. If no handshake occurs during the date of their next meeting, or if no meeting takes place by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No Handshake”. If a handshake is photographed but not captured on video, this market will resolve to "Photographed only". Duration will be measured from the exact moment their hands make initial physical contact until the exact moment either breaks contact. If the measured duration falls exactly on the boundary between two duration brackets, this market will resolve to the higher bracket. Qualifying Requirements: The handshake must be voluntary, intentional, and in person. Direct hand-to-hand contact is required (gloves or mittens are permitted). The handshake must be clearly visible on video from start to finish. Non-qualifying examples: Fist bumps, hugs, waves, or other non-handshake greetings. Any handshake that is too unclear to measure. Only photographic evidence exists without a way to measure duration. The resolution source will be video footage.
