“We could end it in two seconds,” the US president noted, commenting on the war with Iran during his Thursday meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the White House.
Donald Trump also commented on the US attack on Khark Island. – We can destroy the island whenever we want. This little island is completely defenseless. We demolished everything except the pipes. We left the pipes because rebuilding them would take years, he noted.
Donald Trump joked about Pearl Harbor. An eloquent reaction from the Prime Minister of Japan
Donald Trump also commented on the Israeli attack on Iran's South Pars gas fields. The US president said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to do it again. —We get along great. It's all coordinated. In some cases he will do something and if I don't like it […] Then we won't do it anymore, assured the American president.
Answering the question why he did not tell his allies, including Japan, about his plans before starting the war with Iran, Donald Trump cited the example of Japan's attack on the American base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in 1941.
— Don't signal your intentions too much in advance. You know, when we went in, we did it very abruptly and we didn't tell anyone about it because we wanted a surprise. Who knows better than the Japanese what a surprise is? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? – Trump joked, to the obvious confusion of the head of the Japanese government.
