"Americans are safer when NATO is strong and united. It is in our interest for all allies to tend this unity with care."
"The United States must not take this sacrifice nor our allies' commitment to make it again lightly. The Senate will continue to support the alliance for the peace and protection it provides America, Europe, and the World."
Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. Chris Coons issued a joint statement supporting U.S. membership in NATO, emphasizing its historical significance and the sacrifices made by NATO troops. President Trump expressed frustration over NATO allies not contributing enough to military efforts, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Despite Trump's threats to withdraw, legal constraints prevent unilateral withdrawal from NATO.
