Overview
- Massie introduced HR 6508 to end U.S. NATO membership, arguing the alliance is a Cold War relic that burdens taxpayers and risks foreign entanglements.
- The text orders the president to give Article 13 denunciation within 30 days of enactment, beginning a one-year withdrawal timeline.
- The measure bans U.S. funding for NATO’s common budgets, including the civil budget, military budget, and the Security Investment Program.
- The House proposal mirrors Sen. Mike Lee’s companion bill, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said she will co-sponsor.
- The bill awaits committee review with no floor timetable, as reporting cites NATO diplomats saying allies have no plan for a U.S. exit.
