US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania attended a wreath-laying ceremony inside the USS Arizona memorial, marking the resting place of more than 1,000 sailors and marines who died aboard the warship during the surprise attack by Japanese fascists on December 7, 1941, ABC News reported.
The US President and his wife then threw white flower petals on the wreckage of the USS Arizona. The couple was also accompanied by Admiral Harry Harris, Commander of the US Pacific Command (PACOM).
This is the first time Mr Trump has visited Pearl Harbor. Previously, the US President said he had "read, heard, talked and learned" about Pearl Harbor but "never seen it with my own eyes". President Trump added that he believed the visit would be "very interesting".
Tomorrow, the US President will arrive in Japan. This is the first stop on the 14-day Asian tour of the White House owner, passing through 5 countries: Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines.
