From AFP News Agency.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sailed smoothly past a potential clash with Donald Trump during an official visit to the US.
When a Japanese reporter asked why allies were not included in talks about the Iran strikes before they happened, US President Donald Trump brought up Pearl Harbor in response.
Imperial Japan launched a pre-emptive attack on the key US Pacific base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, hoping to strike a decisive blow before an expected US entry into World War II.
More than 2,400 Americans died in the attack that president Franklin D. Roosevelt said would live "in infamy." The United States ended World War II by dropping two atomic bombs on Japan, the only use of nuclear weapons in history.
