Trump calls NATO allies 'cowards' over Iran

President Donald Trump on Friday branded the United States' NATO allies "cowards" for not heeding his demand for military assistance against Iran to control the Hormuz Strait shipping route.

"COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!" he posted on his Truth Social platform.

U.S. allies "don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk," he posted.
