For anyone who hasn’t caught this is with a watch, just google it. The Japanese PM asks the President why Japan and other allies were not informed of the impending war with Iran. Trump went on as usual about it being a surprise attack then turned to the Japanese PM and said it was like Pearl Harbour, inasmuch as Japan didn’t tell the US about that surprise attack, as if it was a joke.
The PM looked mortified.

He is awful..That poor lady was squirming.. He has no intelligence,dignity,compassion or diplomacy, he's also a convicted felon. He loves humiliating people makes him feel good! Cannot wait till he is removed,one way or another! He is a complete embarrassment! No wonder Melania stays away. She will divorce him after he's out of office. Her prenup will have something like that in it...

MayBee70 I find that hard to accept. The PM of Japan hugging Trump? Japanese have a huge regard for politeness even towards those they know, hugging Trump unbelievable.

I thought he was going to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki to!!

It is time to stop making excuses defending this odious man.

There are photographs in the press showing the Japanese Prime Minister hugging Trump. Even Reuters reported the hug.

I'm puzzled by this, though.
Trump said "Why didn’t you inform me in advance before the Pearl Harbor attack?”

Does he not realise it was in 1941?
Trump was born in 1946

Actually, I'm not usually a royal fan, but I think the King would say what he thought, not just simp, could be quite interesting and amusing

I thought it might be AI. I couldn't believe it.
