US President Donald Trump voiced frustration with several Nato allies over insufficient support during the war with Iran, Anadolu reports.

Speaking alongside Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, Trump was asked whether he still believed some European allies had treated the US unfairly and what they could do to improve relations.

Trump said he had been “disappointed” by the response of several key Nato members, including Italy, the UK, Germany and France.

“I was disappointed with Italy. I was disappointed with the UK,” he said. “We were disappointed with Germany and France. We’re disappointed with most of them.”
