On Thursday (19 March) Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi flew to the US and in the White home she met Donald Trump. Their discussion was to include discussing the hard situation in the energy marketplace caused by the American-Israeli war in Iran. Both of them besides appeared before journalists.
Trump responded to a nipponese journalist. It was awkward.
At the end of a series of questions and answers to the president of the United States, 1 of the nipponese reporters addressed him. He asked Trump why he had not informed key allies of America—such as Japan—before the launch of a joint American-Israeli air strike against Iran.
– It is not essential to signal your intentions in advance. You know, erstwhile we came in, we did it very violently and we didn't tell anyone due to the fact that we wanted to surprise. Who knows better than the nipponese what surprise is? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? – Trump made a joke, to clearly confuse the head of the nipponese government.
"The unexpected US Pacific Fleet air strike in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 consumed the lives of over 2,400 American soldiers, and nearly 1,200 were injured as a consequence of bombings. (...) On Thursday president Donald Trump made a gag of it" – describes Independent.
Japan's prime minister seemingly confused by Trump's statement
Takaichi, who spent 2 years in Washington, D.C., working at the Capitol during Reagan's reign and fluent in English, was clearly amazed by Trump's words. The grin disappeared from her face, and her eyes expanded erstwhile she realized what he just said.
After an awkward pause, Trump returned to the subject he was asked about. You asked me about surprise, and I did. And thanks to this surprise, we have achieved more than we expected. So if I told you all about it, there would be no surprise anymore – he explained.
That day Trump besides declared that he was not going to send additional troops to the mediate East. “No, I don’t send troops anywhere,” he said. As has been noted, so far the president asked about the war on land has not ruled out any option.
Let's add that the Joe Kent movement, which has been the manager of the National Anti-Terrorist Center of the United States, has late echoed. The man has resigned from his post. In an authoritative statement, he acknowledged that he "cannot support the ongoing war in Iran with a clear conscience". It was the first specified decision in the United States administration since the attacks began.
An American authoritative stressed that Israel was the 1 who had drawn the United States into this war through a disinformation campaign, and Trump fell for it. "It was utilized to deceive you that Iran poses a direct threat to the United States and if you attack now, you will have a consecutive way to victory. It was a lie," Kent said.
