She is in the middle of a political scandal. I think she used her husband's name to make a donation (or something like that, I can't remember) It looks like the couple has some problems.

All she said was "no hablo ingles".

Exactly! Pathetic.

This makes zero sense.

First of all, it's not the first time Mrs Abe has met the President. There was a visit earlier this year at Mar A Lago, and any language limitations would have been discovered then. Second, there are always interpreters on hand. The Merkel-hosted dinner explicitly included interpreters.

yeah very odd indeed, I agree with DC

Or maybe she just didn't want to talk to her husband.

This and finalizing how many genders there are will surely assist the Dems getting elected.
