TOKYO, Japan - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday played golf with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and presented a trophy to the winner of a sumo tournament, turning to personal diplomacy for the second day of a Japan visit shadowed by tough trade talk.
Trump, the first U.S. president to watch sumo in the sport’s homeland, waved to the audience as he entered the hallowed Kokugikan and then saluted them with applause as they waved and raised their phones to take photos. Trump, using a special set of wooden stairs fitted to the sumo ring, presented the 25-year-old Asanoyama with the President’s Cup, a trophy topped with a bald eagle, the U.S. national bird.“In honor of your outstanding achievement as Sumo Grand Champion, I hereby award you the United States President’s Cup,” Trump said, reading from a prize certificate.

Beef was also heavily in play at lunch. The golf was followed by double cheeseburgers made with U.S. beef, Japan’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
