Trump Ribs Japanese PM on Pearl Harbor in Oval Office Talk on Iran [View all]

Source: The Hill

President Trump ribbed the nation of Japan over its World War II bombing of Pearl Harbor in a Thursday Oval Office meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

Taking questions from reporters, Trump said he would call on a “beautiful person from Japan.”

Asked why he didn’t tell allies like Japan about the conflict in Iran ahead of time, Trump invoked the Dec. 7, 1941 bombing in Hawaii.

“You don’t want to signal too much… We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise,” he responded.

“Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” Trump added jokingly to Takaichi.
