CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: U.S. President Donald Trump is strongly considering pulling the United States out of NATO after a growing rift between Washington and its European allies over the ongoing conflict involving Iran, according to recent reports. Trump made his comments in an interview with Britain’s Daily Telegraph, calling NATO a “paper tiger” and suggesting that withdrawal from the alliance is now “beyond reconsideration” after key members declined to support U.S. military actions tied to the Iran war.
The tension stems from setbacks and refusals by several European countries to provide military support or access for U.S. operations linked to reopening the Strait of Hormuz — a strategic chokepoint crucial for global oil flows. Some allies, including France and Spain, limited cooperation to non‑combat or defensive roles, frustrating Trump’s expectations of unified action.
This development marks a significant strain in Western security cooperation and could reshape transatlantic defense dynamics if Trump follows through on his threat. Analysts are watching both NATO’s future cohesion and whether the U.S. might pursue new security frameworks outside the alliance.
