On Thursday, the former Republican Republican leader Mitch McConnie (Kentucky) warned that the Trump administration would significantly weaken NATO if the United States is abandoning the coalition’s military leadership for the first time in its 75 -year -old history.

“The weakening of the US leadership will not strengthen NATO interests or the United States. If we are serious about encouraging European allies more capable, retracting our site as a leader of the Atlantic alliance will be a strange way to show this,” McConnell said in a statement on Thursday afternoon.

He made notes after NBC News stated that the Pentagon is looking to restructure the country’s fighter orders and is studying a proposal for the United States to abandon its long role as the leader of the NATO higher alliance in Europe.

McConnell warned at a press conference in Kentucky earlier this week that Russia and its allies, including China, have continued a serious danger to American interests.

“We are very concerned about the reports that claim [the Defense Department] And they said in a joint statement:

While Republican Party chairs said they support Trump’s efforts to urge European allies to increase their defensive spending, and they warned that Congress should be part of any major changes to the orders of the fighters.

“We will not accept major changes to the structure of our wigs that are made without a process between strict agencies, coordination with combat leaders and joint staff, and cooperating with Congress,” they warned.
