In a Truth Social post, Trump called NATO "A PAPER TIGER" without the United States and its members "COWARDS" for not sending forces to reopen the strait, declaring the war "Militarily WON" and the closure "the single reason for the high oil prices."
Why it matters
The attack came a day after six allies offered only a general readiness to help secure the strait, underscoring that Washington had no coalition ready to force it open.
