This Tuesday, at the NATO summit held in Ankara, Turkey, President Donald Trumplashed out at the members of the military alliance, exposing European countries for refusing to help the United States in the war in Iran despite Washington spending millions of dollars to protect Europe.
Trump confirmed that he is considering reducing the presence of U.S. troops in Europe, defining himself as someone "very disappointed with NATO." The president also confessed that "he would not have attended" the military alliance summit if it had not been held in Turkey, describing his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a friend and a "very strong leader."
"I was very disappointed with NATO and, frankly, if it hadn't been held in Turkey, where my friend happens to be a very strong leader, a very strong person, I might not have attended," Trump indicated. "I felt I had to attend because, you know, I know he gave it his all," he added.
"It was very important to get NATO to come to Turkey or anywhere else. It's a big deal, but they didn't treat us well because we did something in Iran. We don't need anyone's help. I didn't even want their help, but before I asked for it, they said they wouldn't be there, and we have invested trillions of dollars in NATO," the president continued.

NATO, a paper tiger
Trump has rightly been attacking NATO since the group of European countries rejected participation in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and instead urged the United States to surrender and end the war against the Iranian regime. Other countries, led by socialist lunatics like Spain, even completely prohibited the U.S. from using their military bases.
"For what? To protect European countries and others, Canada, etc.; but to protect the people, the countries from, generally, what used to be the Soviet Union and is now Russia. And I say that's fine, but one would think they would be very willing to do something to help us, and they really weren't," the Republican mogul noted about the countries that make up the alliance he labels as a "paper tiger."
"In the case of the United Kingdom, the prime minister —I suppose he's no longer there, maybe because of this— did something very unpopular. He said: 'No, we will help after the war is over.' I said: 'I don't need that kind of help.' We didn't need any help at all," Trump stated referring to the now former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was forced by his own party to resign from the position a few days ago.
