The United States Congress has approved legislation that would prohibit any American president from withdrawing the country from NATO without the approval of the Senate or an act of Congress. It is expected that the project will be approved by American President Joe Biden. This was reported by the publication The Hill.
“The measure, led by Senators Tim Kaine and Marco Rubio, was included in the annual National Defence Appropriations Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives,” The Hill writes.
The bill is expected to be signed by US President Joe Biden. The publication notes that the document confirms the states’ support for the alliance.
According to the bill, the President will not be able to independently decide on the country’s withdrawal from NATO. If the US President tries to do this without the approval of the Senate or the relevant act of Congress, the financing of this initiative will be prohibited, and the actions of the administration Congress will be able to challenge in court.
Recall, earlier Federalist magazine reported that the US federal budget for the last year doubled and reached two trillion dollars. The author of the article noted that soon the payment of interest will become the main item of expenditure in the United States.
