Trump, Takaichi Meet: Awkward Jokes & Iran Pressure

0:00On March 19th, here's the latest in entertainment and celebrity news. President Donald Trump met with Japan's new prime minister, Senai Takaiichi, at the White House this week. He made a joke about Japan liking surprises more than the United States, which left her looking uncomfortable and taking a deep breath. Despite the awkward moment, the two leaders traded compliments. Takaiichi praised Trump as the only one who could bring world peace, even with their shared history of conflict. Trump called her a popular and powerful woman. This exchange happened against the backdrop of World War II, when Japan allied with Nazi Germany and attacked Pearl Harbor to grab key territories. Trump also pressed Japan to help in the ongoing United States and Israel offensive against the Iran. He said he expects them to step up because of their close ties, though it's not clear what support they might provide. Meanwhile, other allies pushed back. Biden's prime minister, Keir Starmer, said they won't join the wider war, and Germany noted they weren't consulted before it started.
