US Lawmaker Warns Trump Against Unilateral NATO Withdrawal
In a letter sent following Trump’s closed-door meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Krishnamoorthi expressed “deep concern” over the president’s recent statements questioning US participation in the alliance.
The Democrat highlighted that Congress has already enacted binding legislation preventing a president from unilaterally leaving NATO without either a two-thirds Senate vote or an act of Congress.
“Any unilateral U.S. exit from NATO would be both strategically reckless and blatantly illegal under current law. Moreover, your rhetoric on this issue risks strengthening our adversaries at the expense of our own security," he wrote.
Krishnamoorthi also warned that even casting doubt on the US commitment to NATO could undermine the alliance’s deterrent capability amid heightened global instability.
“I strongly urge you to reverse course and recognize the clear requirements of U.S. law. We must strengthen—not weaken or question—the alliances that have preserved peace and security for generations,” the lawmaker concluded.
