U.S. President Trump once again criticized on the 27th other NATO countries for refusing to participate in actions to help ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz, and threatened to cut the spending used to “protect” other NATO countries. Speaking at a business forum in Miami that day, Trump said, “I think the fact that NATO was not there at the time was a huge mistake.” “We spend tens of billions of dollars every year on NATO to protect them; we would have always been on their side, but now, given what they’ve done, I think we don’t need to do that anymore.” Trump also said that the fighting with Iran “is not over yet,” “we still have 3554 targets,” and “this will be completed very soon.” (Xinhua News Agency)
