In the aftermath of the explosive meeting between President Trump and Zelensky in the Oval Office on Friday, Sen. Mike Lee is calling it a good time for our nation to leave NATO for good.
NATO, of course, stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — a military alliance between America and 30 European countries (plus Canada.)
Ukraine has been pining after a spot in NATO since before the war began.

Sen. Lee’s remark comes after a big Norwegian fuel firm banned sales to U.S. forces in the aftermath of President Trump refusing to bow down to a very ungrateful Zelensky in the Oval Office on Friday.
Express provided the details on that:
A petrol giant in Norway has announced a ban on fuel sales to all US forces following Donald Trump‘s treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, it has been reported.
Norwegian firm Haltbakk Bunkers announced it will stop providing fuel to all American forces in Norway as it declared “No fuel to Americans!”. The firm posted on social media to declare its support for Zelensky as it dealt a hammer blow to US President Trump following the heated spat televised from the Oval Office.
It said: “We have today been witnesses to the biggest s***how ever presented “live on tv” by the current American president and his vice president. Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing tv show. It made us sick. Short and sweet. As a result, we have decided to immediate STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports.
“No Fuel to Americans! We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA”
Owner of the firm Gunnar Gran has told Norwegian maritime news site Kystens Næringsliv that ‘not a litre of fuel’ will be delivered ‘until Trump is finished’.
Leaders of European NATO countries largely stood with Zelensky after he disrespected President Trump in the White House on Friday, despite the billions of dollars of aid our nation has given him.
Just look at this:
Europe show solidarity with Zelensky and Ukraine.

Zelensky thanks global leaders for the outpouring of support, leaders representing nations with combined economies over 20x RussIa's GDP.

Hey, if they love Zelensky and Ukraine so much over America, then maybe it’s time for us to leave.
Let Ukraine take our spot and see how NATO reacts when they lose the support of America…
Sen. Lee’s idea is making waves on X, with many folks agreeing:
Solid point.
See how the others like it when the country (USA) who pays 68% of NATO leaves the group 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

NATO is a huge liability, with no benefits.

Infuriating they would do this to our @USNavy !!! And we’re in NATO with them and giving our money to NATO – we need to get out of NATO asap. Let’s stop paying nations to disrespect us when they’ll do it for free.
