U.S. President Donald Trump is contemplating a significant shift in international relations by potentially withdrawing the United States from NATO. This decision follows the alliance's lack of support for U.S. military action against Iran.

In an interview with Britain's Daily Telegraph, Trump described NATO as a 'paper tiger' and stated that leaving the defense pact is 'beyond reconsideration.' His long-held doubts about NATO's efficacy were also highlighted.

When asked about re-evaluating U.S. membership in the alliance post-conflict, Trump remained resolute, underscoring his previous skepticism about NATO's influence and credibility, sentiments he shares with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
