BRUSSELS, June 18 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Thursday harshly criticised some NATO members over defence spending and their stances on the Iran war as he announced a review of U.S. military forces in Europe. "It's a review that some countries will fail, and others will pass with flying colors," Hegseth told NATO defence ministers gathered for a meeting at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels.
