On April 2nd, President Donald Trump is ramping up his criticism of NATO again, saying the alliance is basically worthless and hinting at polling the US out for good. He's calling allies free-loaders who didn't back America in the Middle East, like sending ships to the Strait of Hormuz after tensions with Iran. Meanwhile, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell and Democrat Chris Coons dropped a joint statement backing NATO hard, calling it the best military pact, ever, and key to US safety for over 70 years. They pointed out how NATO jumped in after September 11th, with troops fighting and dying next to Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, stressing that. A strong alliance keeps us all safer. Legal roadblocks make it tough for any president to ditch NATO alone, thanks to a 2023 law needing two-thirds Senate approval or new. Legislation, pushed by folks from both parties like Marco Rubio back in the day, even with summer Republicans like Mike Lee and Thomas Massey pushing bills to exit, most leaders

say Congress has to weigh in, leaving this NATO debate, wide open as a splice the GOP, and worries Dems about global fallout. That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news, today, driven by AI, I'm Corey, with the story.
