Hiroshima mayor: Trump ‘does not fully understand the reality of the atomic bombings’

  • In early August 1945, the United States launched atomic bomb attacks targeting Hiroshima first, followed by Nagasaki three days afterward, resulting in extensive loss of life in both locations.
  • These bombings aimed to end World War II but sparked criticism from Hiroshima's mayor Kazumi Matsui, who said President Trump lacks full understanding of the bombings' reality.
  • Matsui invited President Trump to visit Hiroshima to witness the devastation firsthand and warned that nuclear weapons kill innocent people and threaten humanity's survival.
  • An estimated 140,000 individuals lost their lives in Hiroshima and around 74,000 in Nagasaki, many due to radiation-related injuries, while the survivor organization Nihon Hidankyo received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of their efforts toward global nuclear disarmament.
  • Trump’s remarks comparing US strikes on Iran to the 1945 bombings provoked protests and political backlash, highlighting ongoing international concerns about nuclear weapon use.
