Trump considers US withdrawal from NATO - The Telegraph
US President Donald Trump said he is considering pulling the United States out of NATO, calling the alliance a “paper tiger” and citing frustration with allies over the Iran conflict.
“I am strongly considering” leaving NATO, Trump said in an interview with the Telegraph, adding the move was “beyond reconsideration.”
“I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger,” he said.
Trump linked his stance to the lack of allied support in operations related to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, where disruptions have hit global energy flows.
He also said the war could end soon, telling reporters separately the United States “will be leaving [Iran] very soon” and that military action could end within “two or three weeks.”
