Trump Lashes Out at Europe for Refusing to Join Iran War
In the latest escalation of transatlantic tensions, US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on European countries that have refused to join the Israel-US war against Iran. The US leader has specifically called out the UK and France, accusing them of undermining the war effort and betraying the alliance.
European Pushback Against the Conflict
Several European nations have taken concrete steps to distance themselves from the ongoing conflict. France has blocked Israeli planes from flying weapons through its airspace, while Italy denied last-minute permission for US bombers to land in Sicily. Spain has already refused to allow the US to use its bases and airspace for the war, which its government has deemed illegal.
The UK Stands Alone
Despite the growing European opposition, the United Kingdom has allowed the US to use its bases for the war, a move that has further strained relations between the transatlantic allies.
The fallout from the war has already started to wreak havoc on the global economy, with concerns over the disruption of energy supplies and the potential for wider conflict.
