Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would direct President Biden to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. She argues that European countries are not reliable partners and are not paying their fair share of NATO obligations, while the U.S. pays around 4% of its GDP to defend NATO countries. Greene claims that European countries could and should pay more to ensure NATO security instead of relying on U.S. taxpayers. She introduced the amendment on the same day that President Biden expressed the U.S.'s "ironclad commitment" to NATO at a NATO summit in Lithuania, where NATO leaders also declared that Ukraine's future is in NATO

That's so weird that an extremist Trump republican wants to do something that would be massively helpful to Russia
