Trump also set aside campaign pledges to force Japan to pay more for U.S. defense aid.

Seems to me that Trump is going to hold this threat over the head of Abe in any and all negotiations in the upcoming future.

Well I guess all that hand holding worked wonders! Wonder if there was any GRABBING going on behind closed doors?

Because of a golf-game the relationship becomes solid; it just reflects how superficial & exaggerated it can be. The underlying complex tension in North Asia is escalating steadily; North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan & the USA....the probability of bad outcome & conflicts is rising. And on top of that in Europe, a bigger shocker than Brexit for the world is building up; a surprise Le-Penn victory in France & the likelihood of black-swan event of the breaking-up of EU.

In US TV clips,, Abe won golf but it looked like Trump, the tall man made sure Abed won. Abe doesn't play golf in Japan, ooes he? Akin was more diplomatic. She. eased tensioned Melaia's mind. Media was kind to Abe couple.

The two leaders also played golf.

I think that was established in the title. Maybe he should play golf with Chinese leaders and fix everything in one afternoon.

Abe must have learned a thing or two from the hostess bars he used to frequent.
