Schumer Reminds Little Marco of His Own Law Blocking Any Quick Withdrawal From NATO
As Trump Threatens NATO Exit, Schumer Reminds Marco Rubio Of His Own Law Blocking Any Quick Withdrawal— 'Couldn't Act On A Whim'Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has firmly stated that the Senate will not vote to leave NATO, despite President Donald Trump‘s recent contemplation of withdrawal.
Schumer took to X on Wednesday and highlighted that State Secretary Marco Rubio sponsored a bill in 2023 that requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate for the U.S. to withdraw from NATO.
“Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two-thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn't act on a whim,” wrote Schumer.
This move was made to ensure that the decision to leave the alliance would not be made impulsively by any president.
