Trump scorches NATO for failing Iran loyalty test, debates bailing on alliance
Share this @internewscast.com

President Trump issued a strong rebuke to NATO on Thursday, criticizing the alliance for its reluctance to support the United States in its conflict with Iran. He suggested that the U.S. might reconsider its commitment to its allies.

Before the joint U.S.-Israeli military operations on February 28, Trump had assured that “we’re always gonna be there” for NATO partners.

However, during a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Trump expressed uncertainty about that commitment, saying, “At least we were. I don’t know anymore, to be honest with you.”

Trump questioned the reliability of allies who did not support the U.S. during the strikes on Iran, implying they may not be trustworthy in future conflicts.

“They weren’t there,” Trump remarked, asserting that U.S. forces had “decimated” Iranian targets within days.

“We spent trillions protecting Europe… they weren’t there for us,” he said. “I’m so disappointed in NATO, because this was a test for NATO. This was a test. You can help us. You don’t have to, but if you don’t have, you know, if you don’t do that, we’re going to remember!”

Trump also knocked UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, saying he only offered help after the fighting ended.

“If there’s ever a big one… I don’t think they’re going to be there,” Trump said.
