Trump Berates NATO Over Iran

Trump’s frustration centers on the refusal of several European allies to participate in military operations in the Gulf or assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

NATO chief Mark Rutte acknowledged that some members were 'surprised' by the kinetic action against Tehran but insisted they are now doing everything the president asks.

The rift has deepened as Trump also expressed anger over the lack of progress in his plans to acquire Greenland from Denmark.

Diplomats fear the president is offering an ultimatum that could lead to a historic withdrawal of American support for the eight-decade-old alliance.
