TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said on Monday he was not in a position to comment on South Korean President Moon Jae-in's decision not to visit Japan for the Olympics.
The president's decision came after South Korea lodged a protest over a news report on Friday that a senior diplomat at Japan's embassy in Seoul had said Moon was "masturbating" when describing his efforts to improve bilateral relations.
