President Trump is reportedly weighing a plan to punish NATO allies that refused to assist the US in the war with Iran.
Under the proposed plan, the Trump administration would pull US troops out of NATO countries that were unhelpful with Operation Epic Fury, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing Trump administration officials.

Trump has recently threatened to reassess US membership in NATO over the alliance’s lack of assistance with the Iran war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte met with Trump at the White House on Wednesday amid the tension.
The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
