US President Donald Trump has openly criticized NATO allies for their lack of support during the Iran conflict, claiming they have gone out of their way to avoid helping the United States. He described NATO as a 'paper tiger' that does not instill fear in Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump's frustration seems to stem from his ongoing desire to annex Greenland, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO member that has firmly rejected his proposals. He emphasized that the tensions with NATO began with Greenland, stating, 'They don’t want to give it to us.' As NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte prepares to visit Washington for talks, Trump also extended his criticism to non-NATO allies such as South Korea, Australia, and Japan for not contributing to the Iran conflict, while praising Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE for their support.
