US secretary of state Marco Rubio on Friday renewed his criticism of Nato allies and called out European leaders who said the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz “is not Europe’s war.” “Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone,” he said, underscoring growing US frustration over what Washington sees as uneven allied engagement in crises with global consequences.
He said that United States has shouldered a disproportionate share of global security responsibilities while its partners have been reluctant to step in when Washington needed support. “The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars, and we have,” Rubio said. “But when we had a need, we didn’t get positive responses from Nato.”
