周日，总统特朗普向北大西洋公约组织（NATO）发出了迄今为止最明确的警告：与美国站在一起保卫霍尔木兹海峡，否则将面临“非常糟糕”的未来。
“受益于霍尔木兹海峡的国家理应确保那里不会发生任何坏事，”特朗普在周日接受《金融时报》采访时表示。“如果没有回应，或者回应是否定的，我认为这对北约的未来将非常不利。”
周日晚上，特朗普在从海湖庄园（Mar-a-Lago）结束周末行程返回华盛顿特区的空军一号上的记者群访中，再次重申了上述言论，称“能有其他国家与我们共同维护该海峡安全并提供帮助——我们将在军事上予以支持——这会很好。”
“记住，以许多情况为例，北约国家总是对北约‘有求必应’，”特朗普指着“帮助他们应对乌克兰问题”的例子告诉记者，尽管“这与我们自身的利益无关”。
“但我们已经帮助了他们，”他补充道，并重申了去年秋天在联合国大会上的评论，质疑北约是否会“一直对我们不离不弃”。
特朗普希望北约盟友协助保障全球石油运输船通过霍尔木兹海峡的安全。特朗普政府官员一直强调，在霍尔木兹海峡局势紧张期间，特朗普领导下的美国是石油净出口国，从中东进口的石油只占其总量的一小部分——这与包括北约盟友在内的世界其他国家形成鲜明对比。
“很有意思的是，看看哪个国家会拒绝我们这个‘小请求’——即仅仅是保持海峡畅通，”特朗普在空军一号上对记者补充道。“之所以说是小请求，是因为伊朗的火力非常有限。”
特朗普对北约盟友最终会支持表示乐观
“我们正在与其他国家讨论合作事宜，但关于海峡的安全维护，我认为我们得到了积极的回应，”特朗普在空军一号上告诉记者。“如果我们成功了，那当然很棒——如果没有，那也没关系。”
北约长期以来一直是特朗普的争议焦点，在其第一任期内，他不得不反复要求成员国达到国防开支占GDP 2%的门槛。现任特朗普政府驻北约大使马特·惠特克（Matt Whitaker）称赞其第二任期内北约承诺将国防开支提高到GDP的5%。

Trump warns NATO of ‘very bad’ future if allies don’t help secure Strait of Hormuz

President Trump sent his clearest warning yet to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Sunday: Stand with the U.S. for defense of the Strait of Hormuz or face a “very bad” future.
“It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” Trump told The Financial Times in an interview Sunday. “If there’s no response, or if it’s a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO.”
Trump echoed those remarks in press gaggle aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, returning to Washington, D.C., from a weekend atMar-a-Lago, saying it would “be nice to have other countries police that with us and we’ll help – we’ll work militarily.”
“Remember, like as an example of many cases that NATO countries, we’re always there for NATO,” Trump told reporters, pointing to “helping them with Ukraine” even though “between us, it doesn’t affect us.”

“But we’ve helped them,” he added, repeating his comments to the United Nations General Assembly last fall, questioning whether NATO will “always be there for us.”
Trump is looking for NATO allies’ assistance in securing the oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz for the rest of the world. Trump administration officials have been repeating throughout the choking of the strait that the U.S. under Trump is a net exporter of oil and gets only a fraction of its oil from the Middle East – unlike the rest of the world, including NATO allies.
“It’d be interesting to see what country wouldn’t help us with a very small endeavor, which is just keeping the Strait open, and that, by comparison is a small ask,” Trump added to reporters on Air Force One. “It’s small because Iran has very little firepower.”

Trump remained optimist that NATO allies will ultimately get on board
“We are talking to other countries about working with us, but the policing of the strait, and I think we’re getting a good response,” Trump told reporters on AF1. “If we do that’s great – and if we don’t, that’s great.”

NATO has long been a point of contention for Trump, who had to repeatedly call on member organizations to reach even the 2% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) spending threshold during his first administration. Current Trump U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker has hailed this second administration in getting NATO to commit 5% of GDP in defense spending.
