Former U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized the United States' ongoing support for NATO, calling it "ridiculous" and "one-sided." His remarks came just days ahead of a NATO summit scheduled to take place in Ankara. Trump expressed his belief that the European allies did not support the U.S. during significant military engagements, specifically pointing to the Iran war as an instance where he felt the alliance was lacking.

Trump conveyed his frustrations through a post on Truth Social, emphasizing that the current relationship between the U.S. and NATO members is not reciprocal. He urged a reevaluation of America's commitment to the alliance, arguing that it is absurd for the U.S. to continue offering support without receiving adequate backing in return. The comments have reignited discussions about NATO's role and the responsibilities of its member states, particularly regarding U.S. military involvement abroad.
