House approves bill warning against U.S. NATO pullout
Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a warning to President Donald Trump not to try to withdraw the United States from the NATO military alliance, the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday approved legislation aimed at preventing such a move.
The Democratic-led House approved the measure by a bipartisan 357-22 vote, with the only “no” votes coming from Republicans. It now goes to the Republican-majority Senate, where its future is unclear, although a similar measure has been introduced there.
The New York Times said last week that several times over the course of 2018, Trump privately told his advisers he wanted to withdraw from NATO.
Publicly, the president has rebuked NATO allies for spending too little on defense.

Given that NATO started around the Cold War and became a major alliance against the then-Soviet Union, I guess we should not be surprised that only Republicans are against any restriction to Trump withdrawing from Russia.
