Trump calls NATO "cowards" over lack of support in Iran war

On March 20, 2026 US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, calling NATO a 'PAPER TIGER' and criticizing allies for not helping with the Strait of Hormuz, as his pleas remain unanswered.
With allies saying they were not consulted, NATO member states ruled out action until a truce in the Middle East war, though six major powers offered limited support securing the Strait of Hormuz.
On Wednesday, Trump floated coercive measures, including plans to 'finish off' Iran and hand control of the Strait of Hormuz to NATO, calling allies 'COWARDS' on Truth Social.
With hostilities ongoing, several top European officials have ruled out helping secure the Strait of Hormuz, and Macron said 'We are staying the course'.
The Iranian blockade has paralysed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas, causing global oil prices to spike since February 28, 2026.
