At a rally on Saturday, the former president announced he would tell the Russians “to do whatever the hell they want” to states delinquent in their bills.
I feel like when he was in office before, I recall him wanting to pull out of NATO then.
I hope we have legislatively done everything we can to ensure whoever the president is, is not able to unilaterally pull out of alliances, and membership in the UN, and WHO, without first getting congressional approval as well, and any such action would be null, and void without such approval.
We were a joke on the world stage when Trump was in office, and lost the trust of much of our allies. We are finally taken seriously on the world stage again, and not laughed at for our president, but we have not fully regained that trust; it is there now, but the world now see’s weather they can trust us at any given moment is depending on elections every 4 years at minimum, and our current congress is even swayed by the whims of a former president that isn’t even in office.
The trust, standing, and soft power the USA lost from Trump’s time in office, may never return to what it once was.

Congressional approval is necessary for entering treaties, not for leaving them. Congress tries to change that. Hopefully in time
