  • President Trump is 'absolutely' considering withdrawing the U.S. from NATO due to allies' lack of support in the Iran conflict.
  • Republican senators Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis have publicly opposed Trump's stance, highlighting NATO's historical support for the U.S.
  • Legal barriers exist, as a 2024 law requires congressional approval for any NATO withdrawal.
