“NATO allies were tested and failed.” This is what US President Donald Trump said in a note read by White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt.
The American president will meet the Secretary General of the Alliance Mark Rutte today. “It will be a frank and honest conversation,” the spokeswoman said.
At the same time, Donald Trump is still thinking about the withdrawal of the United States from NATO and evaluating a plan to sanction some countries that, in his opinion, have proven uncooperative in
against the United States and Israel during the war against Iran. The Wall Street Journal reports it, citing American officials. The proposal would involve the withdrawal of US troops from NATO countries deemed of little use to the war effort against Iran, and then redeploying them to nations that have offered more staunch support for the American military campaign.
Talks with China on Iran
Meanwhile, the United States has started high-level talks with China on Iran. Leavitt reported this again during a press briefing, without providing further details on the contents of the discussions.
Diplomatic mission in Islamabad
On the Middle Eastern front, a diplomatic mission is also planned in Islamabad. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, led by Vice President Jd Vance, will be in the Pakistani capital starting Saturday for a series of talks with Iran, the White House spokeswoman announced.
