Justin Trudeau speaks out over Japan trip after new girlfriend Katy Perry slammed for inappropriate photo

Justin Trudeau and his new girlfriend Katy Perry have made a series of social media appearances these past few days, but it hasn’t been without controversy.The Canadian politician and the pop star first appeared in a photo shared on Friday by former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida after the group spent time together in Japan.In the pic posted to X, 41-year-old Perry – who is seen wearing a cropped blazer and miniskirt over black stockings and boots – stood next to Kishida’s wife, Yuko, who wore a more conservative ensemble.“Former Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch,” wrote Kishida on X, in a caption translated from Japanese to English.Trudeau, 53, reposted the photo to his own X account, writing, “‘Great to see you @kishida230.Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko.

Short skirt and the boots [hides face emoji].”Other X users took issue with Kishida’s inability to properly name Perry, simply referring to her a Trudeau’s “partner”.“Sir this is the Katy Perry you’re talking about,” one user tweeted, as another helped point out, “that’s KATY PERRY, global pop icon tbh.”“Are we just going to ignore Katy Perry,” another wondered, as one commented, “...
