A bipartisan group of US senators is pushing for legislation that would prevent any US president from pulling America out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation without approval from the upper chamber.
The proposed joint resolution, which would need to pass both the House and Senate and gain President Joe Biden’s signature to have the force of law, is the latest effort by legislators to head off the possibility that a future president would yank the US out of the transatlantic defensive alliance it became a founding member of in the years following the end of the Second World War.
