President Donald Trump said Friday that US lawmakers are “right about” reconsidering American military bases in NATO countries, including Spain and Germany, following those countries' opposition to participation in the US-Israeli war against Iran.

Responding to a question about Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham’s proposal, Trump said, “He is right about asking that … They should be helping with the strait,” criticizing allies for refusing to support operations and securing the Strait of Hormuz.

“I think NATO has gone down a long way … a lot of senators and congressmen … are very upset with the fact that NATO has done nothing,” he added.

Spain has refused to allow the US use of its bases for strikes on Iran, criticizing US-Israeli strikes on Iran as “unjustified,” and opposing involvement in securing the waterway.

Germany has also signaled reluctance, with its defense minister saying the conflict is “not our war.”

The waterway has been at the center of global energy concerns since Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced its closure to most vessels in retaliation for US-Israeli attacks that began Feb. 28.

After Trump called for international help to reopen the strait, many countries refused, suggesting the US started the war without any international consultation and so the war belongs to Trump.
