United States President Donald Trump vented his frustration over the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) countries’ refusal to take part in the ongoing Middle East tension. Speaking from the White House, he said NATO is making a foolish mistake.

“They don’t want to help us, which is amazing, amazing. We don’t need any help,” he said of asking countries to send troops to the Strait of Hormuz.

“Everyone agrees with us, but they don’t want to help,” he added.

He lashed out at the countries after his unsuccessful appeal to send their naval ships to secure the Strait of Hormuz.

“The United States has been informed by most of our NATO ‘Allies’ that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform, claiming that “almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing.”

“We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need,” Donald Trump said.
