Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is entertaining the idea of pulling the United States out of NATO, along with the United Nations.
Ramaswamy, who has made headlines for his previous foreign policy proclamations, told Politico on Monday that dropping the U.S. out of NATO was a"reasonable idea.""It’s a reasonable idea that I have considered,” he told the outlet while also telling it that he is"open to reevaluating U.S. involvement in the UN."
The question was prompted by a Rolling Stone report that alleged former President Donald Trump would look to distance the U.S. from NATO if elected to a second term. During his first term, Trump was critical of lackluster defense funding coming from other NATO members, threatening to pull the U.S. out of the group if the other members did not increase their funding.
Ramaswamy has made his own headlines for his foreign policy stances during the 2024 campaign, recently saying that Israel should outline clear objectives for its war against Hamas before the U.S. gives any further aid to the Jewish state.The entrepreneur is in a distant fourth place in the Republican primary, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average. The aggregate has Ramaswamy at 4.8%, compared to Trump at 58.8%, Gov. Ron DeSantis at 13%, and former South Carolina Gov.
Ramaswamy is one of four candidates who have qualified for the third Republican presidential debate in Miami. The other three candidates who have qualified for the debate are DeSantis, Haley, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Trump is expected to skip the debate, as he did with the first two GOP debates.
