Trump can end NATO support without congressional approval

A grumpy veto president is exactly what Trump haters should most fear.

The 1949 NATO treaty was ratified by the Senate. The agreement is that an attack on one member is an attack on all of them. NATO members are required to participate in mutual defense efforts.

Since U.S. NATO membership arises from a Senate ratified treaty, the Senate would have to approve withdrawal from NATO; however, there are enough Senate Democrats and RINO Republicans to block NATO exit.
