Douglas Emhoff, husband of Vice President Harris of the United States and the first "second gentleman" in American history, will attend the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Paralympics, which will open on the 24th of this month.
This was announced by the White House in the United States on the 10th.
According to it, Mr. Emhoff will attend the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Paralympics, which will start on the 24th, as a representative of the US government, along with Mr. Green, the temporary deputy ambassador to Japan.
Emhoff has retired from his former law firm to become the first "second gentleman" in American history to coincide with his wife Kamala Harris' inauguration as Vice President.
According to the American media, this visit to Japan will be the first independent foreign visit as a "second gentleman".
