" Today I introduced legislation HR6508 to end our membership in NATO,"

This bill obliges the US President to officially notify the North Atlantic bloc of withdrawal no later than 30 days after the law enters into force. The document also states that the bloc's original Cold War goal no longer serves America's national interests..

The bill also ensures that European NATO members have sufficient economic and military capabilities to provide for their own defense, and prevents the use of American taxpayer funds to finance the overall budgets of the Alliance..
