Trump says he is strongly considering pulling out of NATO

Trump said NATO allies refused to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and Marco Rubio said the alliance may need to be reexamined.

  • President Donald Trump said he is considering withdrawing the United States from NATO, calling the alliance a "paper tiger" after European allies refused to grant basing rights or deploy warships to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

  • Legislation passed in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, co-authored by Senator Tim Kaine and Senator Marco Rubio, prohibits unilateral withdrawal without two-thirds Senate approval or an act of Congress.
