Trump is threatening to pull the United States out of NATO after allies refused to back the Iran war effort — and tensions are boiling over at the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey. In this video, we break down what Trump actually said, why he's calling NATO a "paper tiger," and what a US withdrawal from NATO could really mean for the alliance, for Europe, and for global security.
Trump has called NATO membership "beyond reconsideration," accused European allies of failing to show up when America needed them, and is even considering cutting US troop levels in Europe by a third to send a message. With NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte scrambling to manage the fallout in Ankara, this could be one of the biggest shakeups to the alliance since its founding in 1949.
We cover:
✅ What Trump said about leaving NATO
✅ Why the Iran war is at the center of this fight
✅ What Congress says about a NATO withdrawal
✅ How NATO allies are reacting in real time
✅ What happens next at the Ankara Summit
