Trump calls NATO allies cowards over Iran conflict

Donald Trump called NATO allies 'cowards' and 'paper tigers' for what he described as a lack of support in a conflict involving Iran. The criticism came as the conflict was reported to be in its 19th day and as more U.S. Marines were being sent to the Middle East.

Trump's remarks focused on NATO's perceived failure to join the fight, with some reports specifying the context as a 'US-Israel war on Iran' or actions near the Strait of Hormuz.
