Kevin Lamarque/Reuters Russian President Vladimir Putin kept President Donald Trump waiting an hour before their summit in Helsinki, Finland on Monday. Putin always keeps people waiting as part of what experts interpret as a power play. But while Putin may have slighted Trump by showing up late, an expert tells Business Insider it's also a backhanded compliment, as he keeps other world leaders waiting way longer. Russian President Vladimir Putin did not invent being late, but he may have perfected it as a power play and means of communication — as President Donald Trump likely found out on Monday before the pair's summit in Helsinki. Putin kept Trump waiting in a guest house for nearly one hour past his planned departure time, Politico's Annie Karni reported from Helsinki.
