Looks like the Saudis mediated this. Griner appears to lean in to shake hands with Bout - right before the edit. Like minds and all.

She is just being gracious--something lost on many.
Everyone on the tarmac looked happy to see the deal go down.

We'll see how gracious she is the next time she has the opportunity to stand up for the National Anthem. And yes, everyone on the tarmac looked happy to see the deal go down. Everyone on the tarmac hates the United States.

Even the US agent shaking hands good-bye with Mr. Bout?

Per your point--it doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of or presence of any newfound patriotism.

What if she combines standing and kneeling?
Say, a period of bowed-head kneeling, followed by a slow rise as she extends her legs and covers her heart firmly with one or both hands, sending her beaming smile, through tears, across the wide stadium before her gaze rests resolutely on the flag of the United States of America.
