Trump says he is strongly considering pulling the U.S. out of NATO, the U.S.-led military alliance that has been a cornerstone of the international order since the end of World War II, citing NATO allies\u2019 failure to join the Iran war.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Telegraph<\/a>, Trump said a U.S. withdrawal from NATO was \u201cbeyond reconsideration.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI was never swayed by NATO,\u201d he said. \u201cI always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has been frustrated by a perceived lack of support from the 31 other NATO member countries, who were not consulted about the Iran war before the U.S. and Israel began strikes on Feb. 28. Spain, for example, has refused to let the U.S. use its airspace or jointly\u00a0operate\u00a0military bases for the conflict, while the German defense minister has said it is \u201cnot our war.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I just think it should be automatic,” Trump said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been there automatically, including Ukraine. Ukraine wasn\u2019t our problem. It was a test, and we were there for them, and we would always have been there for them. They weren\u2019t there for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump says he is strongly considering pulling the U.S. out of NATO, the U.S.-led military alliance that has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-558598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
