Trump responds to a question about getting America's allies to help with escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

"Well we don't need any help," Trump begins, saying Nato allies had been in favour of what the US did - saying it was very important that they take out the nuclear threat from Iran.

The US has done that "very strongly", he says, adding that they have wiped out Iran's military, navy and air force.

On Nato - Trump says they are making "a foolish mistake".

"We don't need them but they should've been there."

Asked a follow up question on Macron's comments that France won't join a taskforce in Hormuz until the hostilities finish, Trump says he will be out of office soon.
