'punish NATO'
SUMMARY

President Trump is considering a plan to punish NATO member countries he believes were unhelpful to the U.S. and Israel during the Iran war.

The proposal would remove U.S. troops from bases in nations deemed insufficiently supportive and reposition them in countries viewed as more cooperative.

This would mark the most significant restructuring of America’s military commitments to the alliance since its founding.

The idea has circulated and gained support among senior administration officials in recent weeks. It falls short of a full U.S. withdrawal from NATO, which requires congressional approval.
