President Donald Trump gave a shocking response when asked during his Oval Office meeting with the Japanese prime minister on Thursday why he didn’t reveal to allies his Iran war plans.
‘You don’t want to signal too much … we wanted surprise,’ Trump answered.
‘Who knows better about surprise than Japan?’ he said. ‘Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor!’
Japanese Reporter: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…like Japan, about the war before attacking Iran?"
President Trump: "We didn't tell anyone about it because we wanted SURPRISE. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
