On April 1st, per the UK’s *The Daily Telegraph*, former President Trump said he’s seriously weighing U.S. withdrawal from NATO after the alliance declined to join his proposed conflict with Iran. He labeled NATO a “paper tiger” and claimed U.S. exit from the alliance is “no longer necessary to consider.” This marks the strongest signal yet that the White House no longer views Europe as a reliable defense partner—after allies rejected his request to deploy warships to reactivate operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Asked if he’d rethink U.S. NATO membership after the conflict ends, Trump responded: “I’d say that’s no longer necessary to consider. I’ve never been convinced by NATO—always knew they’re a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way.” He added: “We’ve been on autopilot this whole time, including with Ukraine. Ukraine isn’t our problem. This was a test: we supported them there, but they didn’t support us.” (FX Street)
