The United States is reportedly considering withdrawing from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) amid growing rifts with European allies over support for its actions in the Iran conflict, a move that could weaken Western security ties and accelerate a shift toward a multipolar world. A US exit from the 75‑year‑old military alliance would force Europe to rethink its defence strategy and reduce reliance on Washington. Analysts suggest that this geopolitical shake‑up could present strategic opportunities for India, which has been strengthening defence and security partnerships with European nations and building its defence manufacturing capabilities. A weakening U.S. role might allow India to expand its global influence. (PC: AFP)
