If the president’s soft stance on Mr. Kim rattled Mr. Abe, it did not show when the two leaders met on Sunday. Just before they headed into their round of golf at a country club in Chiba Prefecture, Mr. Abe greeted the president with a smile and a handshake before driving Mr. Trump away in a golf cart.

A Japanese television news station caught aerial footage of Mr. Trump, clad in a red jacket, and Mr. Abe, clad in blue, swinging their golf clubs and putting, surrounded by aides and security officials.

The local news media has covered the visit breathlessly, reserving special interest for a trophy that Mr. Trump planned to present at a sumo tournament on Sunday evening.

The object, four feet tall and weighing 60 pounds, is being called the President’s Cup. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said the trophy would be displayed to the public at the president’s hotel in Tokyo before the sumo event.

With the trip underway, at least one part of Mr. Abe’s charm offensive seemed to be paying off. In a phone interview with John Roberts, a Fox News White House correspondent, Mr. Trump said he would wait until after the July election in the upper house of the Japanese Parliament before pushing for a bilateral trade deal with Japan.

“I would say that Japan has had a substantial edge for many, many years, but that’s O.K.,” Mr. Trump said on Saturday night during a reception in Tokyo with Japanese business leaders. “Maybe that’s why you like me so much.”
