Trump compares attack on Iran to Pearl Harbor in meeting with Japan PM Takaichi
The war on Iran was the major backdrop of the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in Washington. Mr Trump has been pressing American allies for help in the Middle East conflict. The White House summit also brought an awkward moment — when asked by a Japanese reporter why the US kept its allies in the dark about the attack on Iran, Mr Trump compared it with Pearl Harbor, one of the most traumatic moments in American history. Michiyo Ishida reports from Tokyo and Toni Waterman reports from Washington DC.
