Daily brief
President Donald Trump criticized NATO allies, calling them 'cowards' and 'paper tigers' for not offering support for potential US military action against Iran, specifically regarding the Strait of Hormuz. He claimed there were 'no leaders left to talk to' in Iran. The Italian defense minister rejected Trump's comments, and experts say his threats to withdraw the US from NATO are being taken seriously.
