“The United States has been informed by most of our NATO ‘Allies’ that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation,” the president wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
Trump has been burning up the phone lines trying to get European allies to commit military hardware to keep the waterway open for transporting oil.
“We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need,” he said of the Atlantic alliance.
“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID!,” he wrote. “Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!”
