Trump Confronts NATO Over Inaction

The White House maintains that allies 'turned their backs' on the American people during a critical security crisis in the Middle East.

Reports indicate the administration is considering shifting U.S. troops away from countries deemed unhelpful and toward those that provided more robust support.

Secretary General Rutte described the discussions as frank, while attempting to smooth over the president's anger regarding defense spending and strategic cooperation.

Some Republican lawmakers have urged the president to stop 'nursing grudges' against the trans-Atlantic alliance to avoid national self-sabotage.
