【Taliban's big talk, Japanese journalists were criticized】

Trump suddenly was asked by Japanese media why the US did not inform its allies such as Japan before attacking Iran. Trump's answer was also shocking, directly bringing up the Pearl Harbor incident and "taking a big shot": No one knows the effect of surprise more than Japan. This response immediately made Takahashi Sanao widen her eyes and look embarrassed. What could she say at that moment? For this unreliable U.S. president, Takahashi could only remain silent.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Trump has mentioned Pearl Harbor in front of the Japanese prime minister. During his first term, when facing Abe, Trump once publicly mentioned Pearl Harbor, which also made Abe very embarrassed on the spot.

However, it is interesting that when this scene was transmitted to Japan, the Japanese journalist who asked the question to Trump had trouble. Japanese netizens posted articles on social media to criticize the journalist, believing that he was unprofessional and should be fired. One netizen said: A senior journalist asked a foolish question that would be hit back by 'Pearl Harbor', which is a dereliction of duty.

Some Japanese netizens even specifically dug out the journalist's identity. According to the information, he is a "star figure" of the Asahi TV political department, a veteran resident reporter in Nagatacho, and has interviewed many important Japanese officials. However, when the prime minister was "taken down" by Trump, the journalist asking the question was criticized by the domestic public. The thinking of the Japanese is really amazing.

It is worth mentioning that there have been similar cases before. Last year, opposition party member Okada Katsuya questioned Takahashi about the "Taiwan Strait incident," but Takahashi's answer caused trouble. It turned out that the Japanese public doubted Okada Katsuya for deliberately setting a trap for Takahashi.
