Did the Japanese first lady really snub Trump at G20 dinner?
A dinner hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel for G20 leaders and their spouses made the news on Thursday and set the internet alight after social media users and journalists began wondering whether the Japanese first lady pretended not to know English to avoid speaking to United States President Donald Trump.
The controversy began after Trump, in an interview with The New York Times, said that he found the dinner "hard" to bear because he was seated next to Akie Abe, the Japanese first lady, who he claim did not speak his language.
