For a variety of reasons, beginning with the State Department’s stance on the issue, it is an apology that he is unlikely to receive.

Y ya se pidió perdón por las bombas nucleares en Hiroshima y Nakasaki?
Digo es pregunta...

The surviving victims of the bombings are called Hibakusha, a Japanese word that literally translates to "explosion-affected people". The suffering of the bombing has led Japan to seek the abolition of nuclear weapons from the world ever since, exhibiting one of the world's most firm non-nuclear policies. As of 31 March 2007, there were 251,834 hibakusha recognized by the Japanese government; most live in Japan.The government of Japan recognizes about 1% of these as having illnesses caused by radiation. The memorials in Hiroshima and Nagasaki contain lists of the names of the hibakusha who are known to have died since the bombings. Updated annually on the anniversaries of the bombings, as of August 2007 the memorials record the names of almost 400,000 hibakusha — 253,008 in Hiroshima, and 143,124 in Nagasaki. News accounts often use these figures as a source for the numbers of people who have died because of the bombings
