Japan’s prime minister took a tumble when he played golf with the US President Donald Trump.

Shinzo Abe, 63, repeatedly tried to knock his ball from the steep sand bunker before making his way up the side of the obstacle.

But just as he stepped on to the grass ay the Kasumigaseki Country Club, he slipped backwards.

Trump appears unaware of what went on behind him.

A number of tabloid magazines have questioned how much the pair actually spoke during the game which comes as part of a long Asian tour for Trump.

The two leaders also played golf when Abe visited Trump's Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, in February.
