We’ve just heard from US President Donald Trump, who has called Nato allies “cowards” and said it would be “easy” for them to allow ships to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Here’s his post on Truth Social in full:

"Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran.

"Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices.

“So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!”

        Vance may be worse, but he doesn’t have the charisma or followers.

        Someday a new trump will show up, but it certainly isn’t going to be Vance.

      Well, his actions HAVE caused global prices to sky-rocket. The American republicunts may have voted for him, but their actions are killing thousands of people in multiple countries and making it more expensive for the rest of us.

      American christofascist imperialism is killing the world.
