CNN anchor Jim Sciutto reported that European Union (EU) officials had turned their backs on President Donald Trump in Iran after he poisoned the well by trying to take over Greenland and threatening the NATO alliance.

In an angry Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump said NATO countries "don't want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran."

"We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need," the U.S. president complained. "Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries' assistance — WE NEVER DID!"

"Many already doubted Trump's commitment to their defense alliances, informed by his public questioning of Article 5, threats to reduce U.S. deployments, and generally dismissive rhetoric," Sciutto wrote on X. "His attempts to take Greenland were a breaking point for many. Some will see this not so much as punishment for failing to join the Iran war, but as his honest thoughts about alliances in general."
