Key Ally Instantly Slaps Down Trump's Demand for Help

Sometimes it takes a good friend to call you out when you’re wrong.

For Donald Trump, that pal is the nation of France, which has delivered an emphatic “Non!” to the American president’s request for military support in his Middle Eastern campaign.

Why would anyone open themselves up to that increased threat just to bail out the man and country that is actually the problem.

Where's NATO when you need them? I guess you shouldn't have picked Putin over our allies.

They obviously believe in the Epstein files because of what they did to Andrew. Why would they want to give the US president pedophile more runway by cooperating with him?

now that we've won. Something sarcastic like that.

Just looked it up... Google AI:

"In March 2026, Donald Trump rejected an offer of support from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding the Iran conflict, stating on Truth Social and to the media that the US did not need help after having "already won". Trump criticized the UK for initially delaying support and for seeking to join the conflict too late, saying, "we don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!".
BBC

What a royal asshole!
