US President Donald Trump is considering pulling the US out of NATO. He called the alliance a 'paper tiger' after allies refused to back the US war effort against Iran. The dispute centers on the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic shipping route. Iran has blocked the strait, sending global oil prices higher. Trump urged NATO allies to join a US-led effort to reopen the waterway, but most declined. The US may 're-examine' its relationship with NATO, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
