“Without the United States, NATO is a paper tiger!” declared American President Donald Trump in a harsh message with heavy expressions and sharp criticism toward the North Atlantic Alliance, which, as he emphasized, did not want to participate in the fight to stop a nuclear Iran. Against the backdrop of the oil price crisis and the US “battle” to open the Strait of Hormuz, Trump stated: “They don’t want to help,” adding: “A simple military maneuver that is the only reason for high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk.” “Cowards, and we will remember it,” Trump noted in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Trump’s fierce attack on NATO
Specifically, in his message, American President Donald Trump stated: “Without the United States, NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to participate in the fight to stop a nuclear Iran. Now that the battle has been WON militarily, with very little risk to them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but they don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the only reason for high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will remember it! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
