Trump calls Nato 'cowards' over lack of support in Iran war

US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on NATO in a social media post, calling the alliance 'a paper tiger' without American support and labelling member nations 'cowards'. Trump criticised NATO for refusing to join military action against Iran and for not assisting in reopening the Strait of Hormuz despite complaining about high oil prices. His post stated: 'Without the USA, NATO is a paper tiger. They did not want to join the fight to stop a nuclear-powered Iran. Now that fight is militarily won, with very little danger for them. They complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz.' Trump described reopening the strait as 'a simple military manoeuvre' with 'so little risk' for NATO members. The post concluded with a warning: 'Cowards, and we will remember.'
