US withdrawal from NATO: Why is Donald Trump serious about this turn?

"I am seriously considering leaving NATO." With this strong statement, Donald Trump brings one of the strongest scenarios for the Atlantic alliance back to the table.

In an interview with "The Telegraph", published on April 1, he openly attacks European partners, calling NATO a "paper tiger".

"It's much more than a review. I've never been convinced by NATO. I've always known it was a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too," Trump declared.

He expressed disappointment with the stance of the allies during the war with Iran, saying that no country joined the US and Israeli attacks.

"So we've always been there, even for Ukraine, which wasn't our problem. It was like a test and we were there for them. They weren't there for us," he added.

Such statements are not new from Trump, but this time the situation is seen as more serious. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had attempted to ease tensions after the summit in The Hague in June 2025, where the 32 member countries agreed to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035.

However, the war with Iran has brought the clashes back to high levels. In recent meetings of the North Atlantic Council, the debates have become increasingly fierce.

The first signal came from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who declared that "NATO cannot be a one-way alliance."

Now the fear is that the next summit in Ankara, on July 7-8, will turn into a bitter clash between Trump and his allies.

Meanwhile, another concern is circulating in Brussels: the US could change the way funds are used for Ukraine. According to sources, the money from the Purl fund could be used not to supply Kiev with weapons, but to replenish the Pentagon's reserves, depleted by previous shipments.

The fund itself is also moving slowly. So far, 24 countries have contributed about $4.5 billion, while Volodymyr Zelensky's request is between $90 and $100 billion. Italy has not yet joined. (Corriere della Sera)
