(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) A senior MP has called out Donald Trump after he again accused Nato of not supporting the US in its time of need. The US president has lambasted the defence alliance repeatedly as its member states have refused to get involved in his offensive action against Iran . He has repeated his false claim that Nato has never been there for the US and threatened to pull out of the alliance altogether. Actually, the only time the mutual defence clause of Article 5 has been activated was following the 9/11 attacks in New York. Multiple countries, including the UK, sent troops to war in Afghanistan on America’s behalf for nearly 20 years. So Tory MP Alicia Kearns, who sits as the shadow national security minister, nit out at the president on X. She wrote: “As a British MP I can tell you what ‘showing up’ looks like. “It looks like 457 British soldiers who died in Afghanistan. “Nato has only ever gone to war for one country. Yours. “The question isn’t whether Nato showed up, it’s whether we forgive you for pretending otherwise.” Her remarks come after Trump provocatively claimed on Friday: “Nato made a terrible mistake when they wouldn’t send a small amount of military armaments, just even acknowledge what we were doing for the world taking on Iran.” He continued: “I think a tremendous mistake was when Nato just wasn’t there. They just weren’t there. “They take a lot of money from the United States. We spend billions of dollars a year on Nato. “Hundreds protecting them! We would have always been there for them. “But, now, based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we?” He added: “Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?” As a British MP I can tell you what “showing up” looks like. It looks like 457 British soldiers who died in Afghanistan. NATO has only ever gone to war for one country. Yours. The question isn’t whether NATO showed up, it’s whether we forgive you for pretending otherwise. https://t.co/tu5RAHzRdP — Alicia Kearns MP (@aliciakearns) March 28, 2026 Related...
