Trump: Seriously considering withdrawing from NATO, NATO is a "paper tiger"

By: rootdata|2026/04/01 19:42:01

According to the British Daily Telegraph, Trump stated that he is seriously considering withdrawing the United States from NATO after the alliance did not join his war against Iran. Trump referred to NATO as a "paper tiger" and said that the U.S. exit from the alliance is "no longer up for consideration." This is the strongest signal to date indicating that the White House no longer views Europe as a reliable defense partner after allies refused to respond to Trump's request to send warships to re-enter the Strait of Hormuz.

When asked if he would reconsider U.S. membership in the alliance after the conflict ends, Trump replied, "I would say that is no longer up for consideration. I have never been convinced by NATO. I have always known they are a paper tiger, by the way, and Putin knows that too." Trump added, "We have always been automatically involved, including with Ukraine. Ukraine is not our problem. This is a test, we support them there, but they do not support us."
