The Czech Republic's President, Petr Pavel, has responded to President Trump's accusations that Europe has failed to contribute to the U.S. military operations against Iran. He stated that Europe could do much more, but we are not part of it. The U.K. and Israel are currently engaged in a temporary ceasefire during negotiations over a new nuclear deal and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has criticised NATO allies for their criticism of the military effort and threatened to withdraw troops from Germany, Italy, and Spain after these countries' leaders spoke out against his handling of the war.
