Donald Trump has sharply criticised the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) allies after they turned down a US request to support operations in the Strait of Hormuz. The American head of state called the decision a 'very foolish mistake.'
The US president said he was 'not exactly thrilled' by the refusal, even as he maintained Washington does not rely on outside help. His comments have brought back long-running doubts about whether the alliance would stand with the US in a moment of crisis.
