Trump references Pearl Harbor in response to question about Iran strike notification

During a press conference with Japan's Prime Minister, Trump was asked by a Japanese journalist why the U.S. didn't notify allies before attacking Iran. Trump responded: "We wanted it to be a surprise—who knows more about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" The remark invoked the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in the context of recent U.S. military action against Iran.
