Rep. Thomas Massie Files Bill to Withdraw U.S. From NATO

Overview

• Massie introduced HR 6508, the “NATO Act,” seeking to end U.S. membership in the alliance.
• The bill’s text argues NATO no longer serves U.S. national security and labels the alliance a relic of the Cold War.
• It would require the president to formally notify NATO of withdrawal and would bar taxpayer funds from NATO common budgets.
• The measure contends European members possess enough economic and military capacity to provide for their own defense.
• No timetable for consideration has been set, and the proposal must clear relevant House committees; Massie’s past anti‑intervention stances have drawn criticism from President Trump.
