Trump Threatens to Pull U.S. Out Of NATO
1 day ago
President Donald Trump is once again threatening to pull the United States out of NATO, describing the alliance as a “paper tiger.” His comments come amid ongoing debates over U.S. defense commitments and the role of NATO in global security.
White House correspondent Greg Clugston reports that Trump’s remarks signal a continuation of his critical stance toward the alliance, which has long been a cornerstone of American foreign policy. The president did not provide a clear timeline for any potential withdrawal but emphasized that he believes NATO member countries are not contributing enough to the collective defense.
Trump’s threat raises questions about how allies in Europe might respond and whether the United States would face diplomatic or strategic repercussions. Analysts say such statements could heighten uncertainty about Washington’s long-term commitments to the alliance, though past administrations have stressed that the U.S. remains a key NATO partner.
