Asked by the right-leaning British publication The Telegraph in an interview published Wednesday if he would reconsider the US’ membership of NATO after the war, Trump said: “Oh yes, I would say (it’s) beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin knows that too, by the way.”
The president doubled down in an interview with Reuters, saying he is “absolutely” considering trying to withdraw the US from NATO and previewed that he will be criticizing the military alliance during his primetime address to the nation Wednesday night.
But if you give us Greenland, Diego Garcia, and throw in the Canary Islands we will strongly consider staying. Sardinia would put it over the top.

In what words did Trump "suggest" leaving NATO?
EDIT: Here
I kinda like the way Trump just kind of rolls out some idea and let it simmer for a while and see what the pushback is before he takes his next step
A few months old.
