Congressman Thomas Massie Introduces Bill for America to Leave NATO

What Happened?

U.S. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced a new bill that would require the United States to leave NATO. Mr. Massie said that NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed decades ago. He also said being involved in NATO ‘has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk U.S. involvement in foreign wars.’  

According to Mr. Massie if the bill passed, the president would have to formally notify NATO of the U.S.'s withdrawal under Article 13 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The Trump Administration has yet to comment on the bill publicly.

Why it Matters

Massie’s bill to withdraw the U.S. from NATO was co-sponsored by Anna Luna of Florida and appears to have some support in Congress. But the bill also faces strong opposition from Mr. Massie’s own party, since many congressional Republicans have recently advocated for the U.S. to take a more active role in the NATO alliance. Massie’s bill comes just after the release of the Trump Administration’s National Security Strategy, which was highly critical of Europe.

The NATO alliance was first formed in 1949 in the aftermath of the Second World War. By the late 1940s, it became clear the Soviet Union had no intention of relinquishing control over Eastern Europe, which it had gained during its counterattack on Nazi Germany during World War Two. Worried that the Soviets might try to expand further west, several European countries, along with the United States, formed the NATO alliance with the express intent of deterring or defeating any Soviet attacks on Europe. 

Mr. Massie is correct that the original purpose of NATO has become obsolete since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. However, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated, a new Russian threat to Europe has emerged and remains a real danger. Europe also provides bases that allow the U.S. military to reach the Middle East and Asia, and without those bases, the global reach of the U.S. military would be mostly eliminated. The real question is, does the United States want to remain a global power?

The answer to that question will likely be debated during the 2026 mid-term elections, which already have a crowded agenda. At the moment, Mr. Massie’s bill looks unlikely to pass, but that could change as the mid-term election season intensifies in 2026. The filing of the bill and the critical stance the Trump Administration has taken towards Europe already threaten to undermine the foundations of the alliance, whether the U.S. formally withdraws or not.

How it Affects You

If the U.S. were to withdraw from NATO, it would be a godsend for Russia, who would then be free to threaten, intimidate or even attack Europe directly without worrying about U.S. involvement. An American departure from NATO would also likely bring the alliance itself to an end, though European countries could continue it in a different and vastly diminished form.
