‘We don’t need anybody’s help’: Trump renews Nato criticism

US President Donald Trump has renewed his criticism of Nato, and said that he was “very” disappointed with Europe’s response to the US war with Iran.

His requests for European support during the conflict were intended to test America’s allies, he told reporters during a meeting with Turkey’s president.

“We didn’t need any help at all, and in a way, I was testing people, I was testing to see whether or not they’d be there, because I’ve long said that we helped them, but I’m not sure that they’d be there for us,” he said.

The complaint has been a central point of conflict between Trump and Nato.
