US President Donald Trump has said there are “bad allies” in Nato, adding, “We don’t need them.”

He adds, “We had some asks, and you know we spent trillions of dollars on Nato, and when we need them — which we never do, we never needed them here either. To be honest, I was really asking because I wanted to see what they’d do.

“The last thing I needed was Nato stepping in our way, because they’re a paper tiger,” Trump says, referring to the US campaign in Iran.
