Trump mentions Pearl Harbor again

On August 2 local time, U.S. President Trump told accompanying media while returning to Washington aboard Air Force One that the United States is helping Japan boost the yen, "which is both a sign of friendship and beneficial to the world economy." When asked by reporters why the U.S. is supporting the yen, Trump responded: "The yen has been weakening, and they hope to get a little help." He added: "Japan has always treated us well, except for the Pearl Harbor incident—at that time, things weren't so good." (CCTV International News)
