Donald Trump is seriously considering the possibility of leaving NATO
On April 1, US President Donald Trump announced in an interview with the British publication "The Telegraph" that the country is seriously considering the possibility of leaving NATO. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to him, the refusal of NATO member states to support the US and Israel in potential military actions against Iran has complicated the situation. In a conversation with journalists, Trump called NATO a "paper tiger" and expressed doubts about its effectiveness.
He emphasized that this issue is worth discussing and said that NATO has never surprised him. According to Trump, even Russian President Vladimir Putin understands well that the alliance's strength exists only on paper.
According to Trump, NATO countries refused to participate in the operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was closed by Iran. Considering that about 20 percent of the world's oil is transported through this strait, its importance increases even more.
The president criticized the allies, noting that they were inactive in such a situation. According to him, this issue should have been implemented automatically, and it is not a trade or agreement but a natural duty.
He also expressed the opinion that Ukraine should have participated in this operation. According to him, the US has provided significant assistance to Kyiv but has not received sufficient support in return.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also emphasized the need to reconsider relations with NATO. He said that if the alliance serves only European interests and US interests are ignored, such cooperation will be ineffective.
During the interview, Trump also criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, sharply evaluating his refusal to send military forces to the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, he expressed critical views about British military capabilities.
Keir Starmer, in response to these statements, emphasized that the country makes independent decisions considering national interests. According to him, in the current conditions of global instability, strengthening defense, security, and economic cooperation with European countries remains a priority for Britain.
Overall, Trump's words have sparked new discussions in the international political arena, making questions about NATO's future and the US's global strategy even more urgent. This situation reveals the alliance's internal problems and urges a reconsideration of cooperation and trust among countries.
