The US has introduced a bill on withdrawing from NATO

"NATO is a Cold War relic. The United States should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our country, not socialist countries.Today, I introduced HR 6508 to end our NATO membership," the congressman noted.

Accordingly, this bill obliges the US President to officially notify the North Atlantic Alliance of the withdrawal. It also states that the original purpose of the Alliance during the Cold War no longer aligns with the national interests of the United States.

The bill also establishes that European NATO members have sufficient economic and military capacity to provide for their own defense and prevents the use of American taxpayers’ money to fund the organization’s shared budgets.
