Can Trump withdraw from NATO if he wants to?
US President Donald Trump has once again hinted at leaving NATO, raising questions about the future of the alliance. However, in reality, the US cannot unilaterally leave NATO, as this requires congressional approval. Trump's criticism is mainly about low defense spending and lack of cooperation among allies. Meanwhile, while European countries want to strengthen their defenses, the US military is still the most important in NATO. As a result, despite the political threat, in practice, the US leaving NATO is a complex and difficult process.
