A turn came in the U.S. NATO withdrawal debate when U.S. Senator Mike Lee called for the NATO exit by the U.S. government.

 

In a tweet made by Senator Lee, he appealed to the government of the United States that it is the right time to move out of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).

The entire internet burned up with the U.S. NATO withdrawal and whether it would be the right step under Trump administration to call for the U.S. NATO withdrawal.

What is the position of Senator Lee on U.S. NATO withdrawal?

On the website of Senator Mike Lee, there is a press release where he mentions why the US must withdraw from NATO, citing reasons.

The primary reasons that Senator Lee advocates in his post are related to defense expenditures and the role of other alliance members.

As Trump has also said during his recent meeting with Zelenskyy, they are contributing more to NATO than other European nations despite them being situated an ocean away from Europe.

Senator Lee also questions the benefits that the U.S. gets by participating in NATO, as none of the features and activities of NATO align with the national interest of the United States.

He also introduced a new Act called Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act, whose main aim is to withdraw from the United Nations.

The main reasons why this withdrawal is needed are the serious issues related to national sovereignty and fiscal accountability, which have plagued the involvement of the United States over time.

He says the United States is not going to play sugar daddy to the United Nations anymore and won’t issue random blank checks to them anymore.

He accuses them of using the money from the United States on unaccountable activities, the luxuries of the UN members, empowering tyrants, overpowering poor countries and dominating them, spreading misinformation and bigotry, and betraying its own allies when they need them most.

What made the U.S. NATO withdrawal a hot matter?

The debate about the U.S. NATO withdrawal has been ongoing for several weeks now, but after the unfortunate meeting of Trump and Zelenskyy, which happened on 28th February, it led to more heat towards the U.S. stand on its membership with international alliances.

The majority of NATO countries are siding with Ukraine on the Russia-Ukraine War matter despite the fact that the main contributor to Ukraine in terms of funds and war machinery has been the United States and Zelenskyy despite Trump’s efforts to restore peace, is adamant on continuing the war and seeking more funds from the United States at the same time.

On top of that, a Norwegian fuel company called Haltbakk Bunkers issued a statement just after Trump-Zelenskyy meeting at the White House in support of Zelenskyy that they are immediately stopping all the fuel services to all the American Forces in Norway and to all their ships on Norwegian ports.

Here is their statement:

“We have today been witnesses to the biggest shitshow ever presented “live on tv” by the current American president and his vice president. Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA 🇺🇸 put on a backstabbing tv show. It made us sick. Short and sweet. As a result, we have decided to immediate STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports.

“No Fuel to Americans!”

We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.
SLAVA UKRAINA 🇺🇦”

Soon, there was an uproar among the American citizens regarding such statements for their army.

To satiate the matter, the Norweign Government has to issue another statement contradicting the statement by the Haltbakk Bunkers, supporting the United States saying that they do not align with the statement of that private company and they will infact fact provide complete support to the US army and its ships in Norway.

Here is the statement from Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik on reports concerning naval support published on their website:

“We have seen reports raising concerns about support for US Navy vessels in Norway. This is not in line with the Norwegian government’s policy. I can confirm that all requested support has been provided. The U.S. and Norway maintain a close and strong defense cooperation. American forces will continue to receive the supply and support they require from Norway.”

Foreign policy changes after U.S. NATO withdrawal

Senator Lee’s call for U.S. NATO withdrawal is also supported by Elon Musk.

Amidst all the ongoing happenings around the world and recent findings of the DOGE, it is evident that the previous U.S. governments have been engaged in the frivolous misuse of taxpayers money in sending money to the organizations that do not directly serve the interests of the U.S. citizens.

The Norwegian incident also brought the matter to a level where the U.S. government is now seriously concerned about their role in world matters.

A desperate need to reform foreign policy matters is much needed, and now the matter is among the most hot topics on the internet.
