Awkward handshake between Trump and Japan PM Abe goes viral

This week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump are discussing serious matters between the countries they represent.

The rest of the world isn't quite privy to the details of their conversation yet, but the official Twitter account of Trump's office gave a brief glimpse of Abe's visit—and social media users had a field day after seeing an awkward 20-second handshake.

Netizens interpreted the look on Prime Minster Abe's face as great relief that the ordeal was over.

@POTUS The look on @AbeShinzo's face is the same look George Bailey gives Mr. Potter after shaking his hand in It's A Wonderful Life.

I felt sorry for the Japanese leader. During their handshake, he tried to get his hand back, but Trump was having a love affair with it.

@POTUS @AbeShinzo I like to turn the sound down, play this on loop, and listen to Marvin Gaye. Magical.

@POTUS @AbeShinzo Priceless!  Not sure which is funnier, extended "tinder" handshake or face PM makes upon being released from captor. ????

According to a report from Reuters, the pair are scheduled to play golf together in between meetings about trade and security.  Abe will be staying over the weekend at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. — AT, GMA News
