Trump says NATO's refusal to help on Iran is "very foolish mistake"

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States had been informed by most of its NATO ​allies that they did not want to get involved with the ‌country's military operation in Iran, a move he described as a "very foolish mistake."

But Trump gave no indication that he plans to punish NATO allies for their stances, as he took ​questions from reporters in the Oval Office during the St. Patrick's ​Day visit of Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, Reuters reported. 

Trump said NATO ⁠countries were supportive of the joint U.S.-Israeli war, which has now entered its ​third week, even as they did not want to get involved.
