How Trump’s ‘careless’ Pearl Harbour joke in Oval Office shook eighty years of US-Japan diplomacy | World News

Donald Trump made a joke about Pearl Harbor to Sanae Takaichi, the Japanese prime minister, during a meeting in the Oval Office. The comment was met with silence from Takaichi, who had previously offered to nominate him for the Nobel Prize and emphasized Japan's constitutional limitations on military action. This incident highlights a pattern of Trump disregarding diplomatic norms and treating historical grievances as optional, potentially jeopardizing long-standing alliances like the one between the United States and Japan.
