US President Donald Trump has said that most NATO allies have declined to join the US military operation against Iran, criticising the alliance and asserting that Washington does not need foreign support.
He added that despite their reluctance, almost every country strongly agreed with what we are doing and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Trump said he was not surprised by NATO members’ response.
He also claimed that US forces had significantly degraded Iran’s military capability. He said that because of those gains, allied support was no longer necessary. The comments build on remarks Trump made a day earlier in the Oval Office, where he expressed frustration that some US allies were not willing to contribute militarily.
