Second gentleman

Nice to see they are still masking up despite both being fully vaccinated.

Good looking couple

I just don't get it. Even with a mask covering most of his face, Suga still looks expressionless and void of motivation. And this is the leader of the third biggest economy???!!! Gimme a break.

Nice to see they are still masking up despite both being fully vaccinated.

For the laymen and uninformed:

You can still get infected AND pass on the virus even if you're vaccinated. Then again, I'm no longer surprised at the stupidity or laziness of some people.

Why is the husband of the vice-president acting in an official capacity - he is neither an elected official or federal employee. Hi! I'm the surgeon's husband, I am not a doctor, but I have socialized with surgeons and I've seen episodes of Gray's Anatomy and I will be performing the surgical procedure. Maybe, next time the USA, will send their pet dog.

A bit surprising that Suga-san had the time to meet the spouse of the vice president. Maybe Aso-san's level or below would be more appropriate.

Exactly. Strange protocol decision, but I can only assume Japan thinks it needs to kowtow and show the US the proper level of respect.
