London, April 1 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said he is seriously considering leaving NATO after the alliance refused to join the strikes on Iran, The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday.
When asked whether he could reconsider the situation with US membership after the end of the conflict, D. Trump replied that this issue “is not subject to revision.”
"NATO never impressed me. I always knew it was a paper tiger," he said.
D. Trump expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the lack of solidarity from his allies. He specifically noted that the UK has "non-operational aircraft carriers," implying that the British Navy is not up to the task.
Even before this interview, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that after the conflict with Iran ends, the US will have to "reconsider" its membership in NATO, the publication writes.
"If NATO's only purpose is to protect Europe in the event of an attack, but they deny us basing rights when we need them, then that's not a very good agreement. It's difficult to continue participating in that," the newspaper quotes M. Rubio as saying. –0–
