Trump criticizes EU again for not providing military support

• Trump says the US did not need assistance and achieved its objectives quickly.
• Dismisses claims that US missiles struck an Iranian school.
• Says congressional efforts to end the war will not affect ongoing Iran talks.

President Donald Trump criticized European nations during a meeting with the Secretary General of NATO Mark Rutte on Wednesday, revealing that the United States received no support from Europe regarding the war with Iran.

Trump specifically named Italy, Britain, Germany, France, and Spain, stating he was disappointed that these traditional allies failed to even offer assistance.

"We did not need any help in our war and we crushed Iran in the first week," Trump stated.

He added that while American forces did not require foreign intervention, it would have been nice for allies to show a willingness to help.

Trump also noted that the war in Ukraine has caused significant weaknesses in both European and American defense production.

He told reporters he has not yet reviewed the official report concerning a recent attack on an Iranian school.

Trump expressed uncertainty over whether officials would resolve the issue, but strongly minimized the possibility of American responsibility.

"Missiles were raining down from everywhere at the time of the Iranian school incident," Trump said, concluding it is highly unlikely that American missiles caused the damage.

Turning to international politics and defense summits, Trump announced he altered his initial plans to skip the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara and will now attend.

He also celebrated recent global electoral trends, noting that many candidates he endorsed won their races, including in Colombia.

Trump offered a critical assessment of the United Kingdom, labeling the front-runner for the British prime minister position as too liberal and predicting the candidate will likely block North Sea oil drilling.

Domestically, Trump downplayed legislative efforts to restrict his military authority or force a diplomatic conclusion.

He insisted that a pending vote in Congress to end the war with Iran will have no bearing on his administration's foreign policy, even if lawmakers pass the measure.

"The vote in Congress to end the war with Iran, even if non-binding, will not affect our negotiations," Trump asserted.

Trump concluded his briefing on an optimistic note regarding the diplomatic track, stating that the United States is currently achieving excellent progress and delivering a great performance in active negotiations with Tehran.
