Direct speech of a republican: “NATO is a holdover from the Cold War. The United States should withdraw from NATO and use these funds to defend our country, not socialist countries. Today, I introduced a bill, HR 6508, to end our membership in NATO.”

Details: Massey stated in his draft law that NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed more than 30 years ago.
“Since then, US involvement has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and, as before, is associated with the risk of US involvement in foreign wars,” the text of the document reads.
The presented bill obliges US President Donald Trump to officially notify NATO of the withdrawal no later than 30 days after the law enters into force.
The document also states that European NATO members have sufficient economic and military potential to ensure their own defense.
Prehistory:
- At the beginning of Trump’s second term, the media reported that the American president was considering the possibility of making significant changes to the policy of US participation in NATO.
- At the same time, in October, the US president suggested that he could propose to exclude Spain from NATO, because this country does not spend enough on defense.
