During a meeting with Japan's Prime Minister, President Donald Trump compared recent US strikes on Iran to the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. When asked if Japan had been given advanced notice of the strikes, Trump quipped that he 'wanted surprise,' drawing a direct parallel between the two events.
Japanese officials later stated that US findings about comments made by Sanae Takaichi regarding Taiwan were 'inaccurate.' The meeting was reportedly intended to placate Trump on Iran policy, but was overshadowed by the Pearl Harbor remarks.
