Latest news update (until 18/3/2026):


Trump "reverses course" strongly on NATO and Strait of Hormuz:
Initially: Threatened NATO with a "very bad future" (very bad future) if they don't send warships to help US-Israel reopen Hormuz (Iran blockade causing oil prices to spike ~$103-105/barrel).

Latest (17-18/3): Trump declares US "doesn't need help anymore" (we don't need any help, we never did), criticizes NATO and allies as "very foolish" (very foolish mistake), "one-sided" because they won't help despite US always protecting them.
Reason: Allies (Germany, UK, France, EU...) refuse to participate, viewing it as "not our war" (not our war). Trump disappointed, calling it their major mistake.

Situation: US self-reliant (deploying additional aircraft carriers), but NATO rift exposed clearly. Oil prices elevated, Iran-Israel conflict remains tense (Israel airstrikes Tehran, Iran retaliates).
