We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
US President Donald Trump on Thursday startled Japan's prime minister by mentioning the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, a seemingly light-hearted remark sure to elicit unease in a country now a firm US ally.
Trump, in a notably friendly meeting with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, spoke to reporters about why he did not notify allies before the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28.
"We didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan, OK?" Trump said in the Oval Office.
Looking to Takaichi, the 79-year-old president said, "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"
