'NATO weren't there for us': Trump sends SERIOUS warning as allies refuse to join Hormuz blockade

US President Donald Trump said that he was very disappointed with NATO, alleging that they did not help his country in its war with Iran. Trump said that the US spent trillions of dollars on guarding Europe against Russia. He said, "They're going to be coming up. But I'm very disappointed in NATO. They weren't there for us. We pay trillions of dollars for NATO, and they weren't there for us. Now they want to come up, but there's no real threat anymore. But NATO was not there for us. We spent trillions of dollars on NATO to help it guard against Russia." Trump's disdain for the alliance stemmed even before his first term as the US President, as per Al Jazeera. It is visible from his nudge for Europe to spend more in the defence sector, and his threat to annex Greenland. Trump had called NATO's lack of support a stain on the alliance "that will never disappear," and said they were "paper tiger". Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany put it even more bluntly, later: The conflict "has become a trans-Atlantic stress test," Al Jazeera reported.
