Trump questions Nato allies' support during Iran conflict
Trump questions Nato allies' support during Iran conflict US President Donald Trump has criticised Italy and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for not joining the United States and Israel in their military campaign against Iran. In a social media post, Trump argued that Nato allies had benefited from American support for decades but failed to reciprocate during the conflict.
