‘COWARDS’: Trump blasts NATO allies over Hormuz – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

President Donald Trump lashed out at America’s NATO allies again on Friday, raging at their refusal to join the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER!” the U.S. leader wrote on his Truth Social site, accusing allies of first sitting out the fight against a “Nuclear Powered Iran,” and then “complain[ing] about the high oil prices they are forced to pay.” The solution would be to open the Strait of Hormuz, Trump wrote, “a simple military maneuver … with so little risk,” but allies “don’t want to help.”

“COWARDS,” he concluded. “[W]e will REMEMBER!”
