Will Trump and Xi shake hands for less than 2 seconds on October 30, 2025?

This market will resolve according to the length of the longest filmed handshake between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping on Thursday, October 30, 2025, KST. Any handshake recorded during that date (KST) will qualify. If no handshake occurs on October 30, 2025 (KST), or no meeting takes place by October 30, 2025, 11:59 PM KST, this market will resolve to “No Handshake.” 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 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 too unclear to measure. Only photographic evidence exists without measurable duration. The primary resolution source will be publicly available video footage from credible media outlets or official recordings.
