US to Withdraw from NATO Under Republican Bill

Republican Senator Mike Lee has introduced a bill to withdraw the U.S. from NATO following the completion of an alliance summit in The Hague. In reference to the alliance's acronym, the Utah lawmaker introduced the Not A Trusted Organization (NATO) Act to take the U.S. out from the bloc which he said had "run its course." The act would direct President Donald Trump to provide notice of denunciation of U.S. membership in NATO, consistent with Article 13 of the alliance treaty, Lee said. His statement added that the threats that existed at its inception were "no longer relevant" and that Europe "would be paying their fair share instead of making American taxpayers pick up the check for decades."
