S 2174

This bill, titled the Not A Trusted Organization Act or the NATO Act, proposes that the United States formally denounce the North Atlantic Treaty and withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The bill cites concerns about NATO’s expansion eastward, particularly its border with Russia, and argues that this expansion is a security threat to Russia. It also outlines a plan to prohibit U.S. funding for NATO’s budgets, reflecting a belief that NATO membership is no longer aligned with U.S. national security interests.
