US President Donald Trump repeatedly railed against US allies who he claims “didn’t help us” with the war in Iran, calling them out by name, APA reports citing CNN.
“Japan didn’t help us, Australia didn’t help us, South Korea didn’t help us, and then you get to NATO — NATO didn’t help us,” Trump said at a White House news conference.
Trump added of US assistance to the nations: “We’ve got 50,000 soldiers in Japan to protect them from North Korea; we have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect us from Kim Jong Un.”
Trump then commended some Persian Gulf nations, admitting that their involvement is related to their proximity to the conflict: “Saudi Arabia has been excellent, Qatar has been excellent, UAE has been excellent, Bahrain, Kuwait.”
