Although since his first term as US president Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), in recent hours he has again threatened to do so because its members practically decided to remain in the organization. apart from the armed conflict he is waging against Iran.

However, Republican Don Bacon warned the New York tycoon that the majority of his party members do not support this position, because if his plan were to be carried out, it would practically bury conservatives in the eyes of the American public, as it would imply ceding control of the geopolitical chessboard to China and Russia.

“If he were to dissolve NATO on his own, it would unleash a civil war in the Republican parliamentary group, or in the conference. Most of us would consider it totally unacceptable, and I am not alone. We are a large group who believe in our alliances, in defending freedom, and in standing up to China and Russia. We do not want war with those countries.

If Trump were to destroy or dismantle NATO, he would probably destroy the party for many years. Many would never forgive him,” he stated during an interview with CNN.

The fear of The Nebraska representative's stance stems from Donald Trump's discontent at NATO's lack of support for his strategy to protect ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz carrying cargoes of oil, gas, fertilizers, and other products. This is aimed at curbing the price increases caused by the closure of navigation in that part of the world since February 28, when the US-Israeli-led conflict against the Islamic Republic began. “They don't want to get involved in our military operation against the terrorist regime of Iran in the Middle East, even though almost every country is firmly in agreement with what we are doing,” he said.and that Iran cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon.

Because of our military success, we no longer 'need' or want the help of NATO countries; we never have!” he wrote on the Truth Social platform, anticipating that the United States might withdraw from NATO, which has not yet happened.
