11:09Now PlayingThe Trump administration has reportedly developed what analysts have described as a "naughty and nice" list of its Nato allies — and discussed punishing those it believes have not sufficiently supported the US-Israel war with Iran.
An internal Pentagon email reported by the Reuters news agency suggests that Washington is considering suspending Spain from Nato, and reviewing its support of the UK's claim to the Falklands islands in the south Atlantic.
BBC News, which has not been able to review the document, has contacted the Pentagon about it. Nato officials have said there is no provision for member states to be suspended or expelled from the alliance.
President Donald Trump has accused Nato members of making a "foolish mistake" by refusing to help the US secure the Strait of Hormuz during the war with Iran.
"We don't need any help," he said. "But they should've been there."
We speak to the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner.
