Trump: Thanks Saudi Arabia and Emirates - Condemnation of NATO

Donald Trump reiterated his disappointment with NATO allies for their refusal to send troops to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and warned he may withhold aid in the future. He stated that the US spends billions of dollars annually on NATO, protecting them, but does not receive the same support in return. He expressed satisfaction with the assistance provided by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, even though they shot down three of our planes. He also stated that he does not need Congressional approval for a "military operation" in Iran, but would for a war. Finally, he referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the "Strait of Trump".
