Trump Criticizes Italy, Spain as NATO Divisions Deepen Over Iran War
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Italy and Spain on Friday, highlighting growing tensions among NATO members amid the stalled conflict involving the US and Israel against Iran, according to reports.
Speaking as he left the White House, Trump voiced strong criticism of both countries’ stance, saying: "I'm not happy with Italy, and I'm not happy with Spain. They feel it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Anybody that feels it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon is not very smart, and it'll be a terrible thing in the future if they're ever allowed to have a nuclear weapon."
His remarks followed earlier comments suggesting he may withdraw US troops from the two European nations. Trump reiterated this possibility, pointing to what he described as a lack of support during the conflict.
“I probably will. Why shouldn’t I? You know, look, why shouldn’t I? Italy has not been of any help to us, and Spain has been horrible, absolutely horrible,” he said while addressing reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump also criticized their broader role within NATO, arguing that their assistance has fallen short. "It's NATO. It's not even the fact that they're bad. It's one thing if they said nicely, or if they said: 'Okay, we'll help, but the help is a little slow.' But the level, and we help them with Ukraine.
You know, they made a mess out of Ukraine, a total mess, and we helped them with Ukraine," he added.
