Donald Trump has again attacked Nato for not supporting the US in the Iran war, following a private meeting with its Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.

In a post shared to Truth Social after the meeting, the US President said: “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN.”

Meanwhile, Rutte has described his meeting to CNN with Trump as “very frank” and “very open”, despite clear disagreements.

    Trump can’t pull out of NATO without an act of Congress. He might try but it’ll definitely be stopped in the courts. Even the US Supreme Court wouldn’t be able to find a way around the law.

    Rutte needs to grow a spine and stop indulging Trump’s juvenile shit.
