US President Donald Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with the UK, after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain would not be drawn into a “wider war” over Iran. Trump reiterated that other nations must help secure the Strait of Hormuz, warning of negative implications for NATO if allies don’t contribute. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the conflict is “not a matter for NATO,” while the alliance confirmed that member countries have already taken steps to strengthen security in the Mediterranean.
