France and Italy have joined Spain in pushing back on U.S.-Israeli military operations, sources said on Tuesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump singled out NATO allies in Europe as unhelpful in the month-long war, highlighting divisions. The decisions came against a backdrop of tensions between Washington and key partners over the war in Iran. Earlier this month, Trump called longtime NATO allies “cowards” over their lack of support against Iran. FRANCE 24’s Eliza Herbert reports.

Why would we help a people that hates us, empty your freaking bases and F-off home already. 🇪🇺
The war will end nobody knows how but surely Europeans will have to negotiate with Iranians the transit by Hormuz, so better stay neutral and refuse help Americans cuz they are plenty of petrol n we don't
Why should we? And let’s face it, we cannot rely on the US anyway, with our without NATO.
I don‘t want to be in an Alliance with the genocidal Apartheid PDF Epstein syndicate.Finish NATO, Now!
I mean what does he expect 😂😂😂 he starts an illegal war, which forces me to pay alot more for everything and then he complains that we aren’t helping. Why would we, I actually think we need to seas us military assets to recoup the losses, starting with the gerald r ford thats docked in the Mediterranean for repairs
The French have done nothing wrong.
Here's the wrongdoings:
Trump lied about imminent nuclear danger from Iran and sided with war criminal Netanyahu to start a completely needless war with Iran. Trump and his administration continue to lie about the war.
Europeans should buy only European products!
What kinda POTUS bullies his own allies 😂
Only Spain has some guts. We don't need Nato, nor the US in Europe. Our main allies have become our main enemies. We should embrace BRICS. The war in Ukraine and Ira, Venezuela is about blocking BRICS.
In the free West we claim to be unipolar and multicultural, a contardiction.
A multipolar world is the way to go. A more humane distribution of wealth; less (economic) fugitives, less wars.
But we built a system of shareholders and pension funds that rely on a unipolar system dominated by the West and Israel
the islamic republic of france is doing a great job resisting the american demands
This is a good time to kick the US out of NATO.
Let USA sanctions Europe
Viva la France
All European airspace should be closed to US warplanes. Screw Trump and his government.
The US will push back demands from Europe too when Russia decide to invade beyond Ukraine and maybe sell to Russia weapons to destroy Europe. It would be cool if that happens.
"..countries that stand with you when you need them". I thought Trump said the US doesn't need them 😂.
just remember they literally trying to invade greenland, this country needs to understand that respect goes both ways
la france a dit NON ,car de Gaulle a fait fermer TOUTES les bases US !
non ne sommes pas obligés de vous suivre, on appelle la souveraineté,nous n'avons pas besoin que vous nous teniez la main !
No. It us we that have remembered. Being "some way back from the front line", "cowards" and with "toy ships" where "America never needed any help". Tariffs, threatening Canada and Greenland, insulting President Zelensky and praising Putin.
We have remembered.
Khomeini is west made he flew in Air France back to Iran. Stop fooling people.
And, russia, Belarus still tariff free trade, well will the American dunce get it.
Trump want to stop the shipments of weapons again for Ukraine that Europe has paid for if Europe does not clean up after the US in the Middle East.
Europe needs to realise the real evil and problems and Epstein are USAmerica and Israel, not North Korea nor Iran nor Venezuela nor Cuba.
USA should leave Nato immediately.
Germany!
Attack and attach france and england to your country. Make them your slaves. Don't worry about any intervening by the USA. We now see that we made a HUGE mistake in letting thousands upon thousands of OUR TROOPS die protecting them in WW2.
BIG MISTAKE BY ROOSEVELT!
Kick the orange man babys bases and ports out of Europe. Let them cry more. No more buying US weapons. Buy and produce our own in Europe.
What kind of an alliance is it for trump to start a war and does not include any other countries or even go thru the proper legal channels in USA, he just starts this mess on his own! USA did not stand by the promises and treaties they made but expect others to help, after insulting them, and messing up.
It's nice to see European's have their priorities together and don't jump into irrational and emotional desisions, without consulting anyone else except to hurl insults and ungrateful, uneducated remarks.
Thank you Europe
DJT forgets that France and Europe in general are democracies !
What is funny is that California makes more money than Europe as a whole. You need to quit listening to your news media they are your enemy.
If Europe comes out of US camp and stop acting life USA's dog it will be safest continent. Iran Russia etc are enemy of USA they have nothing to do with Europe. Putin once said he is ready to sign a treaty to never attack Europe. Being a friend or dog of US is devastating.
Vive la France!
Next Noble prize winner is whoever explains TRUMP behave like a human he will be priority to get NOBLE PRICE.
Prez Macron rocks!!
It is now abundantly clear that Western European countries support the IRGC and its proxy organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. These are countries that support terrorism and should be treated as such.
And no more money, military cooperation or trade with either France or Spain. When the European Union is challenged by the likes of Russia, we will sit it out.
Iran has won. Iran's rights are true. It is wrong for other evil nations to oppress Iran. I pray that God will punish those evil nations severely.
Logical development!
