The Trump administration is considering a plan to punish some members of the NATO alliance that he believes were unhelpful to the US and Israel during the Iran war, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing administration officials.
The proposal would involve moving US troops out of NATO member countries deemed unhelpful to the Iran war effort and stationing them in countries that were more supportive of the US military campaign, the report adds.
Reuters cannot immediately verify the report.
