President Trump says US Navy will begin blockade of Strait of Hormuz

Hours after he met with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House, President Donald Trump posted on social media Wednesday that the organization "wasn't there" when the U.S. needed it and that the allies "won't be there" if needed again.

Trump has repeatedly complained that NATO allies didn't heed his calls for help throughout the conflict in Iran, especially in patrolling the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump posted on Wednesday: "Remember Greenland" -- in reference to NATO countries' staunch opposition to his desire to take the island late last year.

Rutte was at the White House for over two hours on Wednesday, but the visit was not open to the press.

The preliminary toll from Israeli attacks across Lebanon on Wednesday is at least 182 people killed and 890 others wounded, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

Earlier Wednesday, Lebanese Civil Defense spokesperson Elie Khairallah told ABC News that at least 254 people have been killed and another 1,165 have been injured in attacks across Lebanon.

The United Arab Emirates said it is "seeking further clarification" on the two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.

The UAE said in a statement Wednesday that it wants more clarity regarding the "provisions to ensure Iran’s full commitment to an immediate cessation of all hostilities in the region and the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz."

UAE officials also said they want to ensure that Iran is "held accountable and fully liable for damages and reparations" for attacks on the country's energy facilities and infrastructure.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he spoke to both President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday.

"I expressed my hope that the ceasefire will be fully respected by each of the belligerents, across all areas of confrontation, including in Lebanon," he said in a statement. "This is a necessary condition for the ceasefire to be credible and lasting."

Macron said any agreement will also need to address Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

"This is how a strong and lasting peace can be built, with the support of all those who are able to contribute to it," he said, adding, "France will play its full part, in close coordination with its partners in the Middle East."
