France Inter national radio wrote today (April 6): "Pelosi: Trump has no right to unilaterally withdraw from NATO. Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently strongly criticized President Donald Trump's repeated threats to exit NATO, calling such remarks 'short-sighted' and warning that they amount to 'a gift handed to Russian President Putin.' She also emphasized that U.S. law clearly stipulates the president cannot unilaterally withdraw from NATO without congressional approval, making Trump's statements institutionally unfeasible."
[Witty] Comment briefly: Hasn't Trump done enough illegal and unconstitutional acts already? Without Security Council authorization, didn’t Trump still illegally invade Iran? Pelosi’s criticism of Trump also reveals how deeply polarized American politics have become. Her fierce condemnation of Trump’s remarks about exiting NATO may sound like a rational defense of the U.S. alliance system, but in reality, the debate over NATO has long turned into a tool for partisan political warfare. Trump, seeking to appease domestic populism, deliberately confronts allies and treats NATO as a negotiable bargaining chip; meanwhile, Democrats leverage legal frameworks to attack him—not genuinely concerned with transatlantic relations, but merely seizing on opponents’ vulnerabilities for vicious attacks. On one side, the president disregards institutional constraints and acts recklessly; on the other, the opposition counters simply for the sake of countering. This extreme internal conflict continues to erode America’s global credibility, and so-called institutional checks have become nothing more than a facade for partisan bickering.
