Trump shared the photo shortly after the two delivered a joint statement on Wednesday announcing that they have reached a deal to begin resolving a dispute over tariffs and avoid a trade war.

The pair also said they planned to team up to intensify work on improving the World Trade Organization, which the president has criticized in the past. 

“We’re starting the negotiation right now, but we know very much where it’s going,” Trump said from the Rose Garden. 

The president also said that they would “resolve” the issue of retaliatory tariffs in addition to addressing the steep steel and aluminum tariffs that Trump imposed on the EU in May. 

Trump referred to the EU as a “foe” earlier this month.
