President Trump played golf this weekend, but he wanted to make it clear that he was not just kicking back and relaxing.
"The President enjoyed hosting Prime Minister Abe on the golf course today, which was both relaxing and productive," the White House said in a statement. "They had great conversations on a wide range of subjects."

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe joined Trump at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., for the weekend, and the two played a round with South African golfer Ernie Els at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Fla., on Saturday.
The press was not allowed to cover Trump's outing, though the Washington Post obtained some cellphone video of the president appearing to tee off on Saturday.
It's important for Trump to let it be known that his golf outing is a working golf outing, lest he be charged with hypocrisy.
Tee times have been a source of partisan attacks on presidents in recent years. Trump himself was a vocal critic of the amount of time President Obama played golf, falsely suggesting in 2015 that Obama played 250 rounds in one year. Political noted that the figure was Obama's golf record over seven years.
"I don't have time for that. I love golf, I think it's one of the greats, but I don't have time,' Trump said at the time.
