Donald Trump says Nato faces a “very bad future” if America’s allies fail to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. The US president – who has appealed to China, France, Japan, South Korea and the UK to help “police” the waterway – argues it is “only appropriate” that those who benefit from the flow of oil help “make sure that nothing bad happens”.
It would be an awful shame if the US quit NATO.
It would definitely be weaker, but at least it would be sane.
