Rep. Massie Files Bill to Pull U.S. Out of NATO

With no White House backing, the measure has no set path to a House vote.

Overview

  • HR 6508 would compel presidential notice of withdrawal under Article 13 within 30 days of enactment.
  • The proposal prohibits U.S. contributions to NATO’s civil, military and Security Investment Program budgets.
  • Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said she will co-sponsor the House bill, and Sen. Mike Lee introduced a Senate companion earlier this year.
  • Sponsors argue NATO is an outdated, costly alliance that risks drawing the U.S. into foreign wars.
  • The legislation remains at an early stage, would need to clear House committees and the Senate under filibuster rules, and reporting says NATO lacks a formal contingency plan for a U.S. exit.
