US President Donald Trump has indicated that the United States may consider withdrawing from the NATO, raising fresh concerns about the future of the long-standing military alliance.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Trump described NATO as a “paper tiger,” suggesting that the alliance lacks real strength and effectiveness. He further claimed that Russia is aware of these perceived weaknesses.

Trump emphasized that he has not been influenced by the alliance’s rhetoric, signaling a continued critical stance toward NATO’s role in global security. He also criticized member nations for failing to respond collectively to calls for action regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically vital maritime route.

The US President reportedly described the lack of unified action by NATO countries as disappointing, even labeling them as hesitant in addressing pressing international security challenges.

These remarks are likely to intensify debates over US foreign policy and its commitment to traditional alliances.
