Description:
US President Donald Trump has once again slammed European allies and threatened to abandon NATO over a lack of support during the Iran war.
On Friday, Trump declared NATO allies made a "tremendous mistake" when they failed to support the US in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump's remarks came during an FII Priority investment forum in Miami, where he claimed the US "doesn't have to be" there for NATO.
"But I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there. They just weren't there. It's going to make a lot of money for the United States because we spent hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds protecting them, and we would have always been there for them," Trump said.
"But now, based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be. Do we? That sounds like a breaking story. Yes, sir. Is that breaking news? I think we just have breaking... But that's a fact. I've been saying that. Why would we be there for them if they're not there for us? They weren't there for us."
