Japan's First Lady pretended not to speak English before Trump (Video)

Trump said that at this year's G20 summit in Hamburg he was sitting near Abe.

The “I was sitting next to Prime Minister Abe's wife, whom I think is a great guy, and she is an excellent woman, but she doesn't speak English”, Trump complained, has discovered White House spokeswoman Maggie Habberman, reports The Independent.

He said it was very strange, because dinner lasted, and the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable. “Darka has lasted at least an hour and 45 minutes”, he said, conveys the newspaper.net.

Later, however, speculation arose that the American president had gained the wrong impression of the First Lady. Writer and columnist Jessica Valenti wrote on Twitter that Abe speaks excellent English. It looks like the first lady of Japan almost two hours became like she doesn't speak English in order to avoid talking to Trump”, Valentine wrote.

In favor of this statement is the video of the talk that Abe had held in a symposium.

It is not known, then, whether the wife of the Japanese prime minister did not speak English or all this was a coincidence, but it is still interesting.
