US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has raised fresh questions over NATO’s value to Washington, warning that the alliance “has to be valuable to the United States” as the Trump administration reassesses America’s military posture in Europe. Rubio’s remarks came after reports that some NATO allies denied US forces access to bases for potential operations linked to Iran. Speaking in Sweden after talks with NATO foreign ministers, Rubio suggested Washington could reduce troop deployments in Europe while shifting focus toward emerging threats in the Middle East and Indo-Pacific. He also urged NATO allies to prepare contingency plans for the Strait of Hormuz crisis if Iran refuses to reopen the crucial global shipping route.
