In a recent interview with the Financial Times, former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a grim warning about NATO’s future, stating that it could be extremely negative unless European allies assist the U.S. in addressing the crisis at the Strait of Hormuz. His comments have raised eyebrows, particularly regarding the way he referred to NATO countries, as he used the term "they" instead of including himself in the collective "we". This choice of words was highlighted by Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski during a press conference in Brussels, indicating a shift in perception about U.S. commitment to the alliance.
