U.S. President Donald Trump said today that he did not inform allies about the start of the attack on Iran because he wanted it “to be a surprise,” noting that no one knows more about surprises than Japan, referring to the country’s surprise attack on the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in the Oval Office, Trump, responding to a journalist’s question about why the United States did not inform allies about the attack on Iran, said the U.S. “wanted a surprise,” according to Sky News.

“We wanted a surprise. Who knows surprises better than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” Trump said, turning to Takaichi.

The Japanese Empire carried out an unannounced attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Hawaii in December 1941, killing more than 2,400 Americans, which led to the U.S. entering World War II.

Takaichi: Iran must not have nuclear weapons, we condemn its attacks on neighbors

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said today that Iran must not have nuclear weapons and that Japan condemns Iran’s attacks on Middle Eastern countries, as well as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking at the joint press conference with Trump at the White House Oval Office, Takaichi said that countries around the world take the security environment “very seriously” and warned that the global economy could soon face a “massive blow” due to the situation in the Middle East, CNN reported.

“Even in this context, I firmly believe that only you, Donald, can achieve peace across the world,” Takaichi said.

The Japanese leader stressed that “the development of nuclear weapons must never be allowed” for Iran and that Japan is urging this, addressing other global partners as well.

“Japan condemns Iran’s actions, such as attacks on neighboring regions and the de facto or effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz,” Takaichi concluded.

At the same press conference, Trump said he believes Japan will “take responsibility” in the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, “unlike NATO.”
