So it&#8217;s a good test because we don&#8217;t need them, but they should be there.\u201d\u201cThe United States has to keep that in mind because we think it&#8217;s very shocking,\u201d he said, in response to a question about whether to reconsider the relationship between the United States and NATO, Trump said: \u201cThere are no plans at the moment.\u201d Earlier on Tuesday, \u201cBecause we have had such a great military success, we no longer &#8216;need&#8217; and don&#8217;t want aid from NATO countries-we never did!\u201d 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\u201cToo long\u201d before the Strait of Hormuz could be safely traversed, \u201cWe are not ready to leave, but we will leave in the near future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore&#8217;s\u201cLianhe Zaobao\u201d reported that on February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military action against Iran, Iran, Israel and the United States military bases in the Middle East and other targets launched counterattack. As a result of the war, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was almost completely suspended. In recent days, Trump has repeatedly urged European countries and other allies to join the Strait of Hormuz convoy, and complained that some allies are\u201cNot keen\u201d to help the United States. On the 16th, Karras, the EU&#8217;s High Representative for foreign affairs and security policy, said that this was\u201cNot a European war\u201d and that\u201cNobody wants to get involved in this war on their own initiative.\u201d EU member states have no intention of extending the current\u201cShield\u201d escort operations in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf to the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump told visiting Irish Prime Minister Martin Martin at the White House that most NATO allies have told the US they do not want to take part&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267,257],"tags":[4494,450,1169,770,319],"views":31,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8288"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8288"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8290,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8288\/revisions\/8290"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
