Trump lashes out at UK and France, telling allies ‘the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore’
President Donald Trump has warned the U.K. and France that the “U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore,” as he vented his frustration over the close allies’ refusal to join military action against Iran.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump said “the Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory.”
“France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!,” he said in a post Tuesday.
In another post, the president singled out the U.K. for criticism.
“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” he commented.
Trump re-upped his disdain for European allies that have refused to take part in the U.S. and Israel's military operation against Iran.

Rebukes of allies, when they are called for, are done through private communications or through correspondences with diplomats after careful consideration. Those were the old days. Now they are done by way of unhinged rants on social media for all the world to see. Including our enemies.
I think the old way is better.
