Trump: Seriously Considering Withdrawing from NATO, Calling NATO a "Paper Tiger"

BlockBeats News, April 1st, according to The Daily Telegraph of the UK, Trump said that after NATO did not join his war against Iran, he is seriously considering having the US withdraw from NATO. Trump referred to NATO as a "paper tiger" and stated that the US withdrawing from the alliance is "no longer necessary to consider." This is the strongest signal to date that the White House no longer sees Europe as a reliable defense partner after allies refused to respond to Trump's request to send warships to restart the Strait of Hormuz.

When asked if he would reconsider the US's membership in the alliance after the conflict ends, Trump replied, "I would say that's no longer necessary to consider. I have never been convinced by NATO. I have always known they are paper tiger, and by the way, Putin also knows that." Trump added, "We have always been on autopilot, including Ukraine. Ukraine is not our problem. This is a test, and we supported them there, but they did not support us." (FX Street)
