Congress Approves Bill Barring Any President From Unilaterally Withdrawing From NATO

Congress has just approved legislation that would stop any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress, The Hill reports.

“The measure, spearheaded by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), was included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which passed out of the House on Thursday and is expected to be signed by President Biden,” said The Hill. “The provision underscores Congress’s commitment to the NATO alliance that was a target of former President Trump’s ire during his term in office.”

Rubio released a statement adding: “We must ensure we are protecting our national interests and protecting the security of our democratic allies.”

Critics claim the move is meant to stop Trump from following through on his anti-NATO rhetoric.

Gateway Pundit reports:

“The move to restrict NATO withdrawal options comes as Trump, eyeing a return to the Oval Office, vocally considers pivoting the U.S. to a less active role within the alliance, or departing altogether if his terms are not met.
