- 8 years ago
Donald Trump on Saturday questioned why President Barack Obama didn't mention the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during his trip this week to Japan.
In a tweet, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee criticized Obama for visiting the site while neglecting to mention the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
Obama did not publicly mention the surprise 1941 attack that pulled the U.S. into World War II while on his historic trip to Japan this week, during which he became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima.
He used the visit to discuss the threat of nuclear weapons.
Obama did not apologize for the US' decision to use nuclear weapons, but he was nonetheless rebuked by some conservatives for his decision to visit the nuclear memorial site at all.
