Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of NATO, calling the alliance’s refusal to back US operations in Iran a crucial “test” it failed. Speaking at the White House, Trump warned that Washington would “remember” how allies responded during the crisis. He also revealed he had urged NATO partners to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy route disrupted by the conflict. The remarks highlight growing friction between the US and its allies, as divisions deepen over strategy, responsibility, and risks in the escalating Middle East confrontation.
