US President Donald Trump sparked a frenzy on social media, both in China and overseas, on Monday when he was pictured dumping a box of fish food into a pond of Japanese carp during his visit to Japan. (AP Photo)

At first, the two leaders scooped out the food in their wooden boxes rather delicately, before Trump emptied his fish food at one time. Abe also threw out his remaining fish food. (AP Photo)

Some netizens believed Trump’s behavior was “rude” while others thought he just followed Abe’s move. “They're just tired of posing in front of the public, that’s it,” one user noted. “The fish cannot eat such a large amount of food at one time,” another said. Some also described Trump as “genuine.” (AP Photo)

Prior to the fish-feeding session, the two leaders inspected Japan’s Self-Defense Forces. They had a meeting in the afternoon, discussing key issues such as tension on the Korean Peninsula.(AP Photo)
