This market will resolve according to the length of the longest filmed handshake between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin during the day (AKDT) of their next meeting. Any handshake recorded on that date (AKDT) will qualify.

If no handshake occurs during the date of their next meeting, or if no meeting takes place by August 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket.

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 too unclear to measure.
Only photographic evidence exists without a way to measure duration.

The resolution source will be based on video footage.
