JOHN ROBERTS (CO-ANCHOR): Jacqui, want to bring you back to the exchange that President Trump had in the Oval Office when he was there with the Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi, when a Japanese reporter asked, well, why didn't you inform your allies including Japan that you were going to attack Iran? And the president had a rather cheeky response to that that I think a lot of people are applauding him for.
