Former US President Donald Trump made a joke about the Pearl Harbor attack while speaking with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, comparing the historical event to Iran. The remark appeared to catch Takaichi off guard, according to reports. Pearl Harbor was the December 7, 1941 Japanese surprise attack on the US naval base in Hawaii that killed over 2,400 Americans and brought the United States into World War II. The incident remains a sensitive topic in US-Japan relations despite the countries becoming close allies in the postwar period.
