Trump Brings Up Pearl Harbor With Japan PM in Oval Office

Tensions between the US and Japan over the Iran war remained evident as President Donald Trump hosted Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, even as he praised Japan for answering his call for support in the effort. #japan #iran #trump #politics #worldnews #usa

“They are really stepping up to the plate,” unlike NATO allies, Trump said Thursday at the White House alongside Takaichi. “We’ve had tremendous support and relationship with Japan on everything.”

Still, the visit was bound to be fraught as it’s not clear what steps Japan is willing to take immediately to help alleviate the economic and security consequences of the war, which remains deeply unpopular in Japan. Joining an armed conflict is legally questionable under the country’s constitution.

  1. He is so stupid. The electorate could not possibly have picked a worse president. If we drew a random name out of a hat, that person would be a better president.

  2. Why anyone in Japanese team hasn't stop PM Takaichi to wear that beautiful set of pearl jewelry in front of him? I suppose any ladies appearance matters for Trump.

  3. I would like a podcast from you. I already can see a few good segments you guys can come up with. Run it up!

  4. This is why I would have welcomed another trump term. Not all the stupid wars and kidnapping of sovereign leaders. Just moments like this. Great to see her squirm 😏

  5. Alone you go in, alone you fight it. Why now ask for help from others? When they refuse to help, you insult and threaten them.

  6. He’s got a point! Liberals don’t like it, but it’s true. Surprise is a powerful war strategy. I’d much rather do some surprising and minimize American troop’s fatalities

  7. Non verbal autistic kids are being secretly electrically remotely shocked. They are not having meltdowns because of overstimulation. "Wired Differently" "Autistic Meltdown"

  8. Whataboutism ! This is how you lose all your allies…he's really damn serious about the Donroe doctrine or maybe not !
