I thought he did so in his first term?? Maybe that was cutting off funds and telling other nations to pay their share??

In his defense, back then he had a lot more opposition that could stop it. Now it's actually doable as republicans control both the house and the senate too.

Problem is, the consequences may not be as expected. NATO, despite it flaws has a lot of leverage over member countries which will vanish overnight if the US leaves. For starters, millions of jobs will disappear as EU/EEA countries start buying domestically produced weapons and military equipment instead of made in USA stuff. Even Canada and Mexico is looking to buy European stuff.

I'm not gonna speculate into potential savings or cost increases, but I don't think it'll be "Gods gift to the people" like some people paint it up as.

Long term, it's gonna be great for European military contractors tho.

Sadly no, the USA still pays $860 billion to NATO.
