Column Rob de Wijk | We should now ask Trump to actually leave NATO

For the umpteenth time, President Trump threatened the Europeans last week. He advised them to “have the courage” to enter the Strait of Hormuz and “take the oil.” And: “you need to learn how to fight for yourselves, because the U.S. is no longer there to help you, just as you were not there for us.” In The Telegraph, he then threatened to withdraw from NATO. Legally, Trump cannot withdraw from NATO on his own, but as commander-in-chief he can suspend the defense of Europe, writes Rob de Wijk in his column for Trouw.
