The post was made on his social media platform Truth Social.
“NATO nations have done absolutely nothing to help the mad, now militarily decimated nation of Iran. The US needs nothing from NATO, but never forget this very important moment!”Trump wrote.
The American leader's statements come amid international tensions and criticism of the North Atlantic alliance's cohesion in managing global crises.
We remember that, a few days ago, Donald Trump launched a new furious attack on NATO, claiming that the alliance “without the US it is a paper tigerIn the message, he harshly criticizes the member states for their lack of military involvement and dependence on American support.
“Without the US, NATO is a paper tiger! They didn't want to join the fight to stop a nuclear-armed Iran. Now that that fight is won militarily, with very little danger to them, they complain about the high oil prices they have to pay, but they don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the only reason for high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with a so little risk.Leave it, and we'll remember!“, the American leader wrote on Truth Social.
Trump's reactions come amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and concerns over the security of sea routes critical to oil shipping, particularly the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important energy arteries: before the conflict, around 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) transited this area.
The near total gridlock of traffic has led to a significant increase in the price of oil on international markets over the past two weeks, fueling fears of an energy crisis.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the refusal of key allies such as France and the United Kingdom to support Washington's efforts to reopen this strategic route.
