衣服もネットゼロ バイデン氏の車列前に裸男性

【グラスゴーAFP=時事】世界で最も影響力があるジョー・バイデン米大統領は、行く先々で群衆に囲まれたり好奇の目にさらされたりすることには慣れているが、おそらく携帯電話を手にした裸の男性には慣れていないだろう。(写真はジョー・バイデン米大統領)
 随行記者団によると、バイデン氏の車列が英エディンバラから国連気候変動枠組み条約第26回締約国会議(COP26)の開催地グラスゴーに移動中、予期せぬ出来事があった。
 「細い田舎道を移動中、大柄な裸のスコットランド人男性がバイデン氏の車の正面に立ち、手にした携帯電話で車列を撮影した」
 バイデン氏が防弾仕様の専用車「ザ・ビースト」から裸の男性を目撃したのか、なぜ男性がスコットランド人だと分かったのかは明らかになっていない。【翻訳編集AFPBBNews】

Net zero clothing-- Biden motorcade flashed in Scotland


The leader of the United States is used to crowds and curious onlookers wherever he goes -- but probably not a naked Scotsman with a mobile phone.
Reporters travelling with US President Joe Biden's motorcade from Edinburgh to the UN climate change summit in Glasgow observed more than they bargained for.
At one point when we were still on smaller country roads, a large, naked Scottish man stood in his front window taking a picture of the motorcade with his phone, a report from Scott Detrow of National Public Radio said.
It was not clear if Biden witnessed the au naturel onlooker from The Beast, his armoured limousine.
The president's Scottish road adventures didn't end there.
On his way back later from Glasgow to Edinburgh to catch an Air Force One flight home to Washington, Biden's motorcade missed a highway exit and had to conduct a U-turn.
US presidential motorcades are usually guided by police, in addition to being under heavy protection, so the kinds of navigational mistakes that might be common for ordinary motorists are extremely rare.
But Scotland has some history of providing US presidents with unexpected entertainment.
In 2016, Biden's White House predecessor Donald Trump was serenaded by a Mexican Mariachi band, Juan Direction, when he arrived at Glasgow Prestwick airport.
The unscheduled welcoming party came after the then-presidential hopeful had proposed building a wall on the US southern border to keep out Mexican migrants.
