Republican Congressman Massie Introduces Bill For US To Exit NATO
US Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a Kentucky representative, introduced a bill calling for the United States to withdraw 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," Massie says on X.
The bill says that European NATO members have sufficient economic and military capacity to provide for their own defense. The bill also states that the alliance began its large-scale expansion to the east in 1999, despite the loss of its relevance and statements to the contrary.
According to the document, NATO "no longer aligns with current US national security interests."
It is not clear yet when the US House of Representatives may consider the bill. Before its review, the document should get approval from the relevant House committees.
