Trump Slams NATO Allies as ‘Cowards’ and ‘Paper Tigers’ Over Iran Crisis
Donald Trump once more criticized NATO partners for refusing to support a U.S.-Israeli action against Iran. On his Truth Social platform, he called them “paper tigers” and “cowards,” insisting they cannot act without American backing and urging them to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. At a recent European Council meeting, leaders from France, Germany, Italy, the U.K. and others stressed de-escalation and declined to send warships until hostilities cease. They have backed measures to secure shipping lanes only once the fighting ends. French President Macron is exploring a U.N.-endorsed plan to protect commercial traffic, while NATO’s secretary-general expressed confidence that allies will find a way to restore safe passage. Trump’s latest outburst follows prior warnings that non-cooperative members face a “very bad future.”
