Handshakes and Hugs

Trump welcomed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with a brotherly hug and warm words of admiration. He dropped previously hard-charging rhetoric during a summit. http://cnn.it/2lxMsuS

"When I greeted him today at the car," Trump said after an Oval Office meeting, "I shook hands, but I grabbed him and hugged him because that's the way we feel." Not necessary. In fact, the look on Abe's face says it all. Japanese culture does not prefer hugs as proper etiquette. Believe me, I learned this right away during my trip to Japan when as AP New York Bureau Chief I hugged the Tokyo Bureau Chief in front of a packed newsroom of journalists to almost everyone's amazement.
