U.S. President Donald Trump met with Irish Prime Minister Martin Luther King Jr.
On the 17th, local time, Trump expressed anger at his ally’s unwillingness to participate in the convoy operation in the Strait of Hormuz. “NATO is making a very stupid mistake,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I wonder if NATO will support us. So it’s a good test because we don’t need them, but they should be there.”“The United States has to keep that in mind because we think it’s very shocking,” he said, in response to a question about whether to reconsider the relationship between the United States and NATO, Trump said: “There are no plans at the moment.” Earlier on Tuesday, “Because we have had such a great military success, we no longer ‘need’ and don’t want aid from NATO countries-we never did!” Trump wrote on realsocial. He also singled out Japan, Australia and South Korea. Trump sent more ambiguous signals about when the United States would end its war with Iran, saying it would not be“Too long” before the Strait of Hormuz could be safely traversed, “We are not ready to leave, but we will leave in the near future,” he added.
