Trump says US may not be there for NATO if neededMIAMI, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated his disappointment with NATO allies over their refusal to send military to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and said Washington may not help them in future if asked to do so. "We spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds, protecting them, and we would have always been there for them, but now, based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be, do we?" Trump has reserved some of his toughest criticism for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. On Thursday, he said on his Truth Social platform that the United States "needs nothing from NATO." "NATO nations have done absolutely nothing to help with the lunatic nation, now militarily decimated, of Iran."
