President Donald Trump compared the US/Israeli strikes on Iran to Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II in front of visiting Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in Washington on Thursday. ⁣ ⁣ When asked about why US didn’t inform its allies in Europe and Asia about the attacks, Trump said they wanted “surprise.” ⁣ ⁣ “Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” ⁣ ⁣ Japan attacked US naval base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941, killing 2,390 Americans. The US declared war on Japan the next day. ⁣ ⁣ #PearlHarbor #Japan #Trump #PearlHarborTrump
