Guardian staff reporter
Summary
Donald Trump has warned that it is "ridiculous" for the US to maintain its current level of NATO support, calling the relationship "one-sided" and "not reciprocal." Writing on Truth Social ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara, Trump criticized European allies for not being supportive of the US during the war in Iran, where several countries restricted American forces' use of bases. He reiterated his stance that Europe should take the lead role for its own defense, and noted that Washington has already begun scaling back its commitments.
