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.
The Democratic leader also highlighted a 2023 post by Rubio, then a senator, in which he celebrated the bill’s passage.
