Trump demands that the countries of the Middle East pay the US for the war against Iran.
The President of the United States says that he expects the allies in the Middle East to reimburse the United States for all the costs incurred during the war with Iran, claiming that American defense is the only reason for the existence of these countries.
According to him: "The countries we defended are going to pay us back all the costs we had for the war, because without us they wouldn't exist. Without us, Israel would not exist."
The Pentagon estimates that the war cost at least $43.6 billion, with attacks causing billions of dollars more in damage to US bases.
