Trump calls Nato allies ‘cowards’ over lack of support in Iran war

|March 21, 2026
US President Donald Trump on Friday branded Nato allies “cowards” for not heeding his demand for military assistance against Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz shipping route.
Trump has recently veered between saying that Washington needs no help to secure the vital waterway for oil tankers, and then lashing out at other countries for failing to help.
“Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER!” Trump posted on his Truth Social network.“They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military manoeuvre that is the single reason for the high oil prices.
“So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!”
The 79-year-old Republican, a long-term sceptic of the Western military alliance, has launched a series of diatribes against Nato in recent days.
