Trump calls NATO relationship ridiculous as he criticizes alliance burden sharing

US President Donald Trump says it is "ridiculous" for the United States to continue its relationship with the NATO defense alliance.

"Ridiculous for the US to continue down this one-sided path when the relationship is not reciprocal. They were not there for us," the president writes on Truth Social without specifically mentioning when NATO countries were not there for the US.

Trump has previously expressed frustration several times that he perceives NATO countries as unwilling to help the United States in the war in Iran and to help open the Strait of Hormuz.
