President Donald Trump has revealed that NATO offered assistance with the ongoing Strait of Hormuz situation, but he rejected their help. In a social media post, Trump stated he told NATO, "I would have liked your help two months ago, but now, I really don't want your help anymore." This comes as the U.S. naval blockade of the strategic waterway appears to be winding down, with Trump previously announcing Iran had declared the strait fully open. The rejection of NATO assistance highlights Trump's unilateral approach to the Iran confrontation and suggests tensions within the alliance over U.S. policy in the region.
