GOING VIRAL: President Trump Jokes About Surprise Strikes With Japan PM [WATCH]

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.19.26

President Donald Trump cracked a historical joke Thursday that turned heads.

Meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in the Oval Office, Trump was asked why the United States did not notify Tokyo ahead of its strikes on Iran.

“We went in very hard. We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise,” Trump said. “Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
