Trump Questions US Support for NATO: “We Will Remember How They Treated Us”

Donald Trump has sharply criticized NATO, questioning US support for the Alliance. He stated that the US may not assist other member states in need, citing a lack of support from allies on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump described NATO as a “paper tiger” and criticized the leaders of member states, warning that the US “will remember” their stance. The US president expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that allies did not respond to his request for military support in the Strait of Hormuz, considering it a “terrible mistake”. He pointed out that the US spends hundreds of billions of dollars on NATO, but does not receive similar support when it needs it. At the same time, Trump stated that the war with Iran is progressing positively, despite international concerns about escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf. Movement in the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed, leading to an increase in energy prices. Trump's criticism of NATO comes at a time of increased geopolitical uncertainty and tensions, raising questions about the future of the Alliance and the US commitment to European security.
