TL;DR

President Donald Trump said he was 'very disappointed' with NATO over Iran, according to a report from the NATO summit in Turkey.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump said he was 'very disappointed' with NATO over Iran, according to a report from the NATO summit in Turkey. The comment adds a new element to his earlier statement today, in which he said he was disappointed with NATO and would not have attended the summit without Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's invitation. The remark specifically links his frustration to the Iran war, a topic that has strained relations between the U.S. and several NATO allies. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Trump has criticized Germany, Spain, and others for their lack of support in the conflict. The development is based on a single report and remains unconfirmed by other sources.
