“You are cowards and we will remember!”. Donald Trump launches a harsh attack on NATO. His message to allies amid war in Iran
The leader of the White House once again expressed, in a message posted on social networks, his deep dissatisfaction after the refusal of NATO allies to get involved in the war in Iran.
President Donald Trump on Friday criticized NATO allies for their lack of support in the war waged by the US and Israel against Iran.
The US president complained that NATO countries did not want to join the fight against Iran, but still complain about high oil prices.
“Without the US, NATO is a paper tiger!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“Now that the battle has been won militarily, with very little danger to them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but they don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the only reason for the high oil prices. It is so easy for them to do it, with so little risk,” he wrote.
“LEAVE, and we will REMEMBER!” Trump added, using capital letters as usual to emphasize some words.
Trump appealed to key US allies and others, inviting them to help ensure the safety of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
But the president ran into a firm refusal from some or a calculated reluctance from others.
