The president has strongly criticized the Alliance, stating that it "has not been there" to support Washington in its offensive against Iran.
Trump has also emphasized the high cost that, according to him, his country bears within the organization, referring to "hundreds of billions of dollars a year" invested by the White House. These statements reignite the debate about the role of the United States in NATO and the burden-sharing among its members.
The president's stance could have significant geopolitical implications, especially in an international context marked by instability in the Middle East and tensions with Iran. Analysts warn that a potential distancing from Washington would weaken the cohesion of the Alliance and disrupt the balance of global security.
