Trump said during the race that he would encourage Russia to do “whatever it wants” to any NATO member that spends less on defense and threatened that it would not honor the collective defense commitment.

United States Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio said he will sponsor legislation that would prevent President Donald Trump from withdrawing the country from NATO without Congressional approval. CNN reported this on Wednesday, January 15.

So, at a hearing in the Senate, which must approve his candidacy, when Democratic Senator from New Hampshire Jeanne Shaheen asked if he would follow the letter of the law if Trump tried to withdraw the United States from NATO, he replied in the affirmative and recalled that he himself was once one of the initiators of this law, which prohibits the president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without the consent of the Senate or an act of Congress.

“I co-authored the legislation, so I support the legislation that I helped pass. I think Congress has a big role to play here,” he said.

Rubio added that he fully supports NATO, but believes that some countries should increase their defense spending.

European states must take their NATO commitments seriously and increase defense spending. This was said by the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who responded to the call of the future US President Donald Trump for the Alliance countries to allocate 5% of GDP to defense.

Germany says it does not have the money in its budget to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, as US President-elect Donald Trump has demanded from NATO countries.
