President Donald Trump repeated his complaint about NATO after a private meeting with the alliance's Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Wednesday. Trump has been angry with the military alliance because member countries ignored his call to help reopen a vital shipping waterway during the war with Iran. Iran effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, sending gas prices soaring. Trump had suggested the U.S. may consider leaving the trans-Atlantic alliance over the issue. Rutte — who has a good working relationship with Trump — had been expected to try to smooth things over. But afterward, Trump issued an all-caps social media post saying, “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM.”
