Obama will not apologize for Hiroshima bombing

London, May 23 : United States President Barack Obama has stated clearly that in his historic visit to Hiroshima, the first city to suffer an atomic bombing, he would highlight the friendly ties between the former hostile nations, but would not apologize for the devastating attack.
According to the Guardian, Obama will become the first sitting US president to tour the site of the world’s first nuclear bombing this Friday, accompanied by Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.In an interview with Japanese national broadcaster NHK, Obama said the reality is that leaders often have to make hard choices during times of conflict and no apologies would be included in brief remarks he is expected to make in the western Japanese city. “It’s important to recognize that in the midst of war, leaders make all kinds of decisions, it’s a job of historians to ask questions and examine them. But I know, as somebody who’s now sat in this position for the last seven and half years, that every leader makes very difficult decisions, particularly during wartime.” Obama said.
