Trump Administration Signals Potential NATO Withdrawal Following Iran Conflict
The Trump administration is considering leaving NATO because allies did not support the U.S. war in Iran. White House officials said allies turned their backs on the United States. President Trump met with the NATO chief to discuss pulling out of the alliance. However, the law says a president cannot leave NATO alone. A legislative rule requires the Senate or Congress to approve the move. Critics want Senator Marco Rubio to support the law he helped pass that stops a president from leaving without help.
