Trump and Japan's Abe share high-five on Florida golf course
The president spent a good part of his Saturday golfing with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as he hosts his first foreign leader at his winter estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
After a rocky diplomatic start that included contentious phone calls with the leaders of Mexico and Australia, the friendly weekend of meetings, dinners and golf suggests the new president is willing to invest time in developing close personal relationships with leaders he feels he can work with.
[...] Trump later posted a photo of them giving each other a high-five on the golf course and tweeted, "Having a great time hosting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the United States!"
The Trump National Golf Club website, in typical Trumpian language, claims the course "features the finest revetted bunkers in the United States, incredible water hazards, including a magnificent island green, and one of the most picturesque landscapes, all of which make for a truly memorable round."
Abe had joked at a joint press conference at the White House on Friday that he was looking forward to playing golf with Trump, even though, he claimed, he's not nearly as good on the links.
While the administration maintains that all options are on the table — Including a Supreme Court appeal — Trump said Friday he was considering signing a "brand new order" as early as Monday, which could address some of the legal issues the court has identified.
