Trump Says No US Boots In Iran, Draws Parallel Between Pearl Harbor & Op Epic Fury In Takaichi Meet

President Donald Trump invoked Japan's December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor when speaking about recent U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran during a bilateral meeting at the White House with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. Asked by a reporter why the U.S. didn't tell Japan or other allies about its decision to strike Iran before it did so, the president said: "We went in very hard and we didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" #trump #takaichi #iranisraelwar #pearlharbor #cruxcollabwithcnn n18oc_crux | n18oc_world CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
