Trump's NATO exit: A 2023 law complicates withdrawal.
Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw the US from NATO, but legal barriers make unilateral action uncertain. A 2023 law requires Senate approval for withdrawal, though past legal opinions suggest presidents may have that authority. NATO rules allow exit with one year’s notice, but no member has ever left. Experts say any move would likely face court challenges, with the outcome unclear and potentially setting a major constitutional precedent.
