Kishida's wife, Jill Biden plant cherry tree at White House

Nice headline. Jill Biden has a name but Yuko Kishida is just "Kishida's wife". LOL

So convenient to be a wife now ,as long as you get to go to Whitehouse

If it is not a government trip then a private one must be paid for by her.

Cherry trees make nice photo ops, but it's really all about BOJ money printer status!

wait until next week when we find out what Joe wants Japan to do in return.

Several years before, LDP regime did cabinet decision "wife of PM is private person". 

Present PM's wife uses large sum of taxes despite private person.

not going to happen. We still can't get the politicians to wine and dine at their own expense in Japan, much less pay for their own trips.

They want it both ways. They want privacy when its convenient for them, but to also use tax money to pay for trips overseas. The Japanese public deserve to know who paid for this trip.

D.C. already has cherry trees from Japan.

So ?....and ...

Jill Biden and Yuko Kishida, receive zero salaries.

And the purpose?

Wallace,the first lady ,has a staff that cater to he need,being First Lady has lots of perks

America will continue to thank Japan with continuous wire tapping as they have been doing for years- that's what good friends do no?

yrral yes but the First Lady receives no salary.

why officials/royals photos are so boring?? its a planting a tree occasion, right? why are they dressed like for an indoor meeting? i really want to see sneakers and sweatpants!

At the end of the meeting, Kishida said she hoped that she and the prime minister would be able to welcome the Bidens to the summit, her government said.

It doesn’t look good

’Yuko Kishida’s government said’

Either a massive typo or this is how things really are…
