Sulking Trump, 79, Floats New Plot to Force Allies to Join His War

A jilted Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Wednesday and threatened to create a new mess in the Middle East as payback for countries that didn’t support his first one.

The president, 79, intensified his criticism of NATO member states as they refuse to participate in efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical shipping routes through which about a fifth of global oil supplies flow. It was closed by Iran after the U.S. and Israel launched coordinated strikes last month.
