Trump has again criticized NATO for its reluctance to help with Iran, according to NBC News
U.S. President Donald Trump has once again sharply criticized NATO, stating that the Alliance has been “completely ineffective” and has not joined the U.S. and Israel in their actions against Iran.
This was reported by NBC News.
The remarks were made at a Turning Point Action event in Arizona. When NATO was mentioned, some in the audience booed the reference to the Alliance, after which Trump continued his criticism.
“And I said, ‘Listen, just so you understand: campaign donations after my victory don’t count, they don’t count.’ And NATO, after our victory, that doesn’t count either, it’s the same thing,” Trump said.
He also called NATO “absolutely ineffective when we needed it” and compared the Alliance to political support, which, he said, doesn’t matter after the election.
Separately, Trump stated that the war with Iran was “just a military excursion” and “not the most important event.”
He has previously criticized NATO on multiple occasions, particularly for its insufficient involvement in maritime security issues in the Strait of Hormuz.
In addition, U.S. President Donald Trump again publicly criticized NATO, stating that the Alliance allegedly did not support the U.S. in the past and will not do so in the future.
U.S. President Donald Trump also stated that an agreement with Iran could be reached as early as the end of April. He also commented on U.S. international relations, speaking sharply about cooperation with the United Kingdom.
Additionally, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance may once again lead the American delegation in potential negotiations with Iran.
As a reminder, negotiations between the US and Iran began in Islamabad.
Trump also announced the “imminent opening” of the Strait of Hormuz.
As a reminder, U.S. President Donald Trump is demanding that European allies present concrete plans within a few days to ensure the safety of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
As a reminder, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, during which the parties plan to finalize a definitive agreement.
Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping for two weeks—for the duration of the ceasefire with the U.S. This agreement is part of broader negotiations aimed at de-escalation in the region.
According to anonymous sources, Chinese officials held talks with Iranian representatives to encourage Tehran to cooperate and facilitate a ceasefire with the United States.
