Trump says he is considering pulling US of NATO, cites allied reluctance on Iran
President Donald Trump told The Telegraph newspaper he is strongly considering pulling the U.S. out of NATO, criticizing the reluctance of allied nations to join the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war in Iran.
President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House before signing an executive order Tuesday, March 31, 2026, in Washington.
"I would say (it's) beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin knows that too, by the way," he said in the interview, which was published on Wednesday.
Trump told The Telegraph he thought allies joining the war should have been "automatic," even though he did not consult with them before attacking Iran.
"We've been there automatically, including Ukraine. Ukraine wasn't our problem. It was a test, and we were there for them, and we would always have been there for them. They weren't there for us."
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was asked about Trump's comments at a news conference on Wednesday morning and defended his decision to stay out of the war.
"I have to act in our national interests," Starmer told reporters. "This is not our war," he continued, noting "a good deal of pressure on me to change my position in relation to joining the war. I'm not going to change my position on the war."
