Trump Criticizes European Allies for Not Joining Iran Military Action

The rebuke occurred while U.S. military operations were underway. Trump also dismissed ongoing talks with Iran as pointless. The disagreement reveals a deeper conflict within the military alliance over who bears responsibility and what America's next moves should be.
