"Trump's Threat: Withdrawing from NATO if Demands Aren't Met"

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly plotting to pull the United States out of NATO if his demands are not met by the alliance. Trump has expressed his desire for non-American members to significantly increase their defense spending and for a reevaluation of the principle that an attack on one member is an attack on all. He has also discussed the idea of putting the US in a "standby" position within NATO. While Trump's threats to leave NATO were previously met with pushback from his administration, nationalist allies and pro-Trump policy wonks are now offering frameworks to support his NATO-skeptic policy goals. However, any action on Trump's part would depend on him winning reelection in 2024.
