US President Donald Trump ended the second day of his visit to Japan with a game of golf with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
It is a form of personal diplomacy aimed at smoothing over difficult discussions on trade cooperation between the two countries.
Trump, dressed in a red sweater and Abe in a blue jacket, smiled for photographers on the field, before starting the game, reports Reuters.
Abe's office later released a selfie from the field, showing Trump and Abe smiling.
In the post, Abe expressed his hope that the alliance between Japan and the USA will become even more stable, reports Tanjug.
Trump and Abe are also scheduled to attend the finals of the fifteen-day sumo wrestling tournament.
During a meeting with Abe last month in Washington, Trump said that he was fascinated by Japanese traditional sports and announced that a trophy would be made in the USA and presented to the winner of the tournament.
The trophy has since been made and is now called the "President's Cup".
