Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Asahi on the 19th and answered journalists' questions:
Journalist: Why didn't you inform your allies before attacking Iran?
Trump: What we wanted was to surprise them - who understands how to surprise better than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about the Pearl Harbor incident?
Comment: This statement seems like a joke, but in fact it is a warning to Japan: the US action does not require notification, and allies can only obey. Takahashi was passive throughout, with a face full of embarrassment, showing the imbalance in Japan-US relations.
