Trump seriously considering leaving NATO

The United States considering leaving NATO? Donald Trump seriously considering it, as he announced in an interview with the Telegraph published on Wednesday, April 1. The American president described the Atlantic Alliance as a “paper tiger,” as he had already stated on Truth Social on March 20. “He has always known,” and “Putin knows it too,” added the 79-year-old Republican.

Donald Trump criticizes European leaders for not contributing to securing the Strait of Hormuz, blocked by Iran since the beginning of the war in the Middle East. “It’s hard to believe. I think it should go without saying,” he lamented. The United States has “always been there, including in Ukraine. Ukraine was not our problem. It was a test, and we were there for them. They, on the other hand, were not there for us,” he complained to the British newspaper.

Keir Starmer defends NATO The day before, Marco Rubio had also criticized NATO. “I think it unfortunately leaves no doubt that once this conflict is over, we will have to reassess this relationship. We will have to reassess the importance that NATO presents for our country within this alliance,” said the US Secretary of State on Fox News.

Faced with these repeated criticisms, Keir Starmer tried to defend the organization. NATO “has ensured our security for several decades and we are fully committed” to this “most effective military alliance in the world,” affirmed the British Prime Minister on Wednesday during a press conference at Downing Street. The United Kingdom will also organize an international meeting of 35 countries this week on securing the Strait of Hormuz.
