AI Summary
This bill, the NATO Support Act, prohibits the appropriation or use of funds to withdraw the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The bill affirms Congress's strong support for NATO, which it deems a pillar of international peace and stability, a critical component of U.S. security, and a deterrent against adversaries. The bill expresses the sense of Congress that the President shall not withdraw the U.S. from NATO and that the Goldwater v. Carter case is not controlling legal precedent with respect to treaty withdrawal. The bill also establishes it as U.S. policy to remain a member in good standing of NATO, reject any efforts to withdraw from it, continue to work with NATO members on defense investment, and support robust U.S. funding for the European Deterrence Initiative.
