The President of the USA, Donald Trump, expressed disappointment regarding NATO allies' reaction to his requests in the context of tensions with Iran, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Following a closed-door meeting, Trump conveyed that the Alliance has not been helpful in critical moments. Rutte confirmed that the discussion was candid but acknowledged that there is a clear disappointment. Trump is considering a plan to "punish" NATO countries that did not support the military campaign, including relocating troops from countries deemed less cooperative to those that supported Washington. Countries such as Spain, Italy, France, and Germany were mentioned as being unsatisfactory to Trump, while Romania, Poland, Lithuania, and Greece could benefit from an increase in American military presence. This move could escalate tensions with Russia, given the proximity to NATO borders. Washington has approximately 84,000 soldiers in Europe, and their presence is essential for global operations and deterring Russia.
