Trump Lashes Out at NATO After Allies Decline Hormuz Support

Trump posted on Truth Social that NATO allies are 'COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!' after European nations declined to commit forces to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth publicly described European allies as 'ungrateful.' Trump said 'We don't need any help' from NATO, while simultaneously expressing fury that allies refused. He invoked US support for Ukraine, saying 'We help them, and they didn't help us, and I think that's a very bad thing for NATO.' The Washington Post reported Trump 'fumes at NATO' and 'embraces going it alone.'
