THIS is the moment Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s photocall erupted into chaos – forcing the Russian tyrant to shout over journalists.
It comes after both leaders shook hands and smiled at each other as they landed in Alaska for a historic peace summit.

Putin looked relaxed as he walked down a red carpet towards Trump – giving the US leader a thumbs-up before greeting him with a warm handshake.
Both of them then shared a moment alone in Trump’s presidential limo, which drove them to the summit venue.
Once inside, Trump and Putin – flanked by their top aides – sat down for an unscheduled photocall.
But chaos took over the room as the press pool began throwing shouted questions at Putin.
One of the journalists asked: “How can the US trust your word? Will you stop killing?”
Putin then appeared to shout over the journalists before the camera feed was cut away.
The tense exchange erupted in a packed media room as cameras rolled.
Neither Putin nor Donald Trump had been scheduled to speak before the talks — making the noisy confrontation even more unexpected.
Crunch talks are now underway after an 11th-hour change in the peace summit.
The White House revealed the summit would now be a three-on-three meeting – with Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff joining Trump.
Putin, on the other hand, will bring in Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov.
