Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with NATO in uppercase letters, "bombing" Germany and Australia: Iran is not your war, and Ukraine is not our war either.

U.S. President Donald Trump on the 26th expressed dissatisfaction with Western allies for “taking a cold approach” to the United States and Israel’s military actions against Iran, and directly named Germany and Australia.

That day, he posted on social media, again voicing dissatisfaction with NATO, writing everything in uppercase English letters: the United States “has nothing to gain from NATO,” but it will “never forget” this important turning point.

It is reported that at a cabinet meeting on that day, Trump said, “‘The head of state of Germany’ said that the war with Iran ‘is not our war,’ which is ‘inappropriate’.”

According to Trump’s account, in response to Germany’s position, his reply was: “All right then—Ukraine is also not our war.”

When German Chancellor Scholz spoke in the German Bundestag on the 18th, he said that prior to the U.S. move, the U.S. neither sought Germany’s input on this operation nor treated European assistance as necessary; otherwise, Germany would have advised against this operation. Scholz said Germany would not take part in the armed escort of the Strait of Hormuz. The escort operation, he said, both lacked relevant plans and lacked authorization from the United Nations, the European Union, or NATO, and Europe wants this war to end as soon as possible.

In addition, at the cabinet meeting, Trump also named another ally, Australia: “Australia isn’t good—I was a bit surprised by Australia’s (reaction to the conflict).”

Australia’s Minister for Defence, Marles, said in response that the United States had made Australia “a single request,” namely “to provide support to the Gulf countries.” “In fact, we are doing that, because it aligns with our national interests.” He said Australia deployed a long-range reconnaissance aircraft to assist the United Arab Emirates in defense.

Australia’s Prime Minister Albanese said that before the United States launched this military operation, it did not consult Australia. “I respect that—that’s the United States’ business.” But “this war will have a major impact on the global economy,” and Australia hopes to cool down the situation.
