US President Donald Trump heavily criticized NATO allies for refusing to participate in the ongoing military operation against Iran, stating the US no longer wants their assistance.
US President Donald Trump has expressed intense anger toward NATO allies over their refusal to participate in the ongoing US military operations against Iran. The statements come amidst the backdrop of a massive, unprecedented regional war triggered by the joint US-Israeli military campaign deep inside Iran.
According to prominent Israeli political commentator עמית סגל, a channel that generally maintains a pro-Israel and pro-US editorial stance, Trump stated that the majority of NATO "allies" explicitly announced their unwillingness to intervene in the American military operation. Segal quoted Trump directly, writing that the US President declared: "We don't 'need' or want their help anymore".
The pro-Israel channel 🔞 חדשות ישראל | ללא צנזורה חדשות ישראל highlighted Trump's specific frustrations regarding Europe's lack of maritime support and contrasted it with previous American aid to European allies. According to the channel, Trump stated: "We helped Ukraine, and they don't help with Iran."
Trump further emphasized the threat of naval sabotage in the conflict, pointing out Europe's failure to provide specialized equipment like minesweepers to secure waterways. Quoting Trump, the channel reported: "Their entire army was destroyed, but you can always get someone to drop a mine in the water. It's like terrorism. So we thought Europe would help with this because they have some minesweepers."
