President Trump on Wednesday lambasted the NATO alliance for their refusal to support the war in Iran, suggesting that the US may no longer be a member because they can’t be relied upon.
While beginning his remarks at an Easter lunch event with White House faith leaders, the President highlighted the destruction of Iran, noting, “We’ve had some very good allies over there, we’ve had some very bad allies in NATO.”
“We spend trillions of dollars on NATO, and when we need them, which we never do, we didn’t need them here either,” he said.
President Trump previously asked NATO for help securing the Strait, but they refused to get involved in the war. Trump has said that it was a test for NATO, and they failed.
“To be honest, I was really asking because I wanted to see what they’d do. We didn’t need them. We blasted the hell out of them, out of Iran, and the last thing I needed was NATO stepping in our way,” he said on Wednesday, again calling NATO a “paper tiger.” He continued, “So we didn’t need them, but I asked anyway.”
Trump further slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, “whose wife treats him extremely badly,” he said, trolling him for the “right to the jaw” that he famously took from his wife, Brigitte, while stepping off his plane in Vietnam last year. “He’s still recovering,” Trump said before blasting him for refusing to provide aid.
Trump also criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for also offering too little too late.
“And so I learned about NATO. NATO won’t be there if we ever have the big one. You know what I mean by the big one,” Trump continued, in an apparent reference to a major offensive in Iran, which he has said is “coming soon.”
“We spend billions. You know, we didn’t have to go into Ukraine. Ukraine is thousands of miles away, across the ocean. We help them. We had a president who’s stupid individual, gave them $350 billion, got nothing for it, gave them so much money, so much ammunition. We’re making ammunition all over the place because we need it because he gave so much away to Ukraine, got nothing for it, and I sell them ammunition,” he continued.
“But I just want to tell you, NATO treated us very badly, and you have to remember, because they’ll be treating us badly again if we ever need them, and hopefully we’re never going to need them. I don’t think we will need them. I don’t think I don’t think they can do very much.”

Also on Tuesday, Trump slammed the United Kingdom and other countries that “refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran,” suggesting that they buy oil from the United States or take care of the Strait of Hormuz themselves. “You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” he said in a Truth Social post.
All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!
Trump further went off on France for being “VERY UNHELPFUL” in a follow-up post.
The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory. France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!! President DJT
This comes as Trump reportedly considers leaving NATO.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump is reportedly furious and “disgusted” with NATO and has said pulling out of the alliance is now “beyond reconsideration.”
