US Withdrawal from NATO: Ending Funding and Redefining Security Policy

This bill mandates the President to formally denounce the North Atlantic Treaty, leading to the withdrawal of the United States from NATO. If enacted, the US would cease funding NATO's common budgets, potentially causing significant shifts in global and European security structures. For citizens, this means a potential change in federal spending priorities and a redefinition of the US role in international defense alliances.
Key points
Mandatory US withdrawal from NATO: The President must give notice of denunciation of the North Atlantic Treaty within 30 days of the Act's enactment.
Cessation of NATO funding: Prohibits the use of any federal funds for direct or indirect contributions to NATO's common-funded budgets (civil, military, and Security Investment Program).
Shift in security priorities: The Act argues that US membership in NATO is inconsistent with national security interests and that European NATO members possess sufficient capacity to counter Russia without US engagement.
