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.

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.
