US President Donald Trump says he is considering pulling his country out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) after the alliance refused to join the war against Iran.

In an interview with The Telegraph published Wednesday, Trump described NATO as a “paper tiger”.

“Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO,” the president said when asked if he would reconsider US membership of the alliance after the conflict.

“I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way.”

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, a critical sea passage for about 20 percent of the world’s oil, which is now considered closed due to the war.

Trump has demanded that allies send warships to reopen the strait — a request that has been largely baulked at.

The president named the UK in his criticism of European countries, while tackling British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for Britain’s refusal to back the US.

“You don’t even have a navy. You’re too old and had aircraft carriers that didn’t work,” Trump said.

This is not Trump’s first public rebuke of NATO. In January, he said the US had “never needed” its NATO allies, and dismissed the sacrifices of allied nations in the 20-year Afghanistan war.

His comments drew criticism from European leaders including Starmer.
