Trump said NATO taught the U.S. to rely on itself, questioned allies for not assisting U.S. action against Iran

Trump: If NATO Can Teach the U.S. Anything, It's to Rely on Itself

U.S. President Donald Trump said that if there's one lesson NATO can teach America, it's to rely on itself rather than depending on other countries and external resources.

Speaking at an event hosted by the conservative movement organization "Turning Point" in Arizona, Trump stated: "If NATO can teach the U.S. anything, it's that we must rely on ourselves."

U.S. leaders have again criticized Washington's NATO allies for failing to assist the U.S. in military operations against Iran. Trump emphasized: "We cannot depend on other nations or external resources."

On April 1, U.S. President Donald Trump told The Daily Telegraph that he is seriously considering withdrawing the United States from NATO after the alliance refused to support U.S. actions against Iran.
