Trump Says NATO Failed Iran Support Test in Ankara
President Donald Trump used his Ankara NATO summit meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to criticize alliance members for staying out of the U.S.-Israel-led war against Iran. He said he was very disappointed with NATO, described the moment as a test of whether allies would be there for Washington, and singled out major European members that declined to take part. Reports said Trump also tied the remarks to the alliance's wider burden-sharing fight and to his decision to attend the summit in Turkey. For Israel, the exchange underscores that stopping Iran still depends on clear U.S. backing, regional partners and allied maritime-security commitments, not vague multilateral promises.
