Yes, President Trump Can unilaterally Withdraw from NATO by John Yoo

Maybe President Trump should indeed withdraw the US from NATO! Let the Europeans do their own defense for once!

Such a withdrawal would certainly make President Trump an outstanding US president! Would be great for his legacy!

An exit from NATO would also free up the US to go forward in foreign affairs etc.

Caveat: I did not read the entire, long article by John Yoo.

"The Iran war has had the unintended consequence of undermining the West’s preeminent postwar alliance. Disappointed by the refusal of European allies to assist the United States, the Trump administration is floating the possibility of exiting the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Critics argue that the president cannot terminate a treaty on his own.

But the Constitution is clear: Presidents can indeed unilaterally end U.S. participation in international agreements. If Donald Trump wants to tear up the NATO treaty, he can just do it. And in June, the Supreme Court may even provide implicit support for such an exercise of presidential power. ..."

Yes, President Trump Can Withdraw from NATO "He has the constitutional authority to do so. That doesn’t mean he should"
