Trump calls NATO "useless."

After Britain and France pledged to protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump called NATO "useless" and urged it to stay out of the situation.

He strongly criticizes NATO, calling it "useless when necessary" and a "paper tiger."

This statement came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced at a meeting in Paris that they would ensure the safety of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz via a "multinational mission."

Starmer stated that this initiative is for peaceful and defensive purposes, aimed at maintaining freedom of international trade and clearing mines.

At the same time, Iran announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that this decision was implemented within the framework of an agreement with the US to halt the suspension of transit.

Trump later praised the full reopening of the strait on Truth Social, expressing gratitude to Iran and emphasizing that an agreement had been reached not to close it again.
