Trump Considers NATO Exit, Calls Alliance 'Paper Tiger'

Donald Trump has said the United States is “strongly considering” withdrawing from NATO, escalating tensions with key allies amid the ongoing Iran conflict.

In a recent interview, Trump described the alliance as a “paper tiger,” criticizing European nations for failing to support U.S. military actions. He suggested that a U.S. exit is now “beyond reconsideration,” highlighting a deepening divide between Washington and its traditional partners. 

The remarks mark one of the most serious threats yet to NATO’s unity, raising concerns about the future of global security cooperation and the balance of power between Western nations and their rivals.
