Trump asks why 'samurai' Japan has not shot down North Korean missiles, say reports

Donald Trump has reportedly questioned why “samurai” Japan did not shoot down North Korean missiles earlier this year. In advance of his trip to Japan this week, Mr Trump is said to have told leaders from Southeast Asian countries on the phone that he couldn't understand why “a country of samurai warriors” didn't take military action against provocations from North Korea, according to the Japan Times. North Korea has fired two nuclear missiles over Japan this year, on 29 August and 15 September.
