Help with US border
Overview of the Proposal President Donald Trump recently suggested — in a social media post on Truth Social — that the United States “should have” invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in order to bring NATO forces to the U.S. southern border to help stem illegal immigration. According to Trump, calling on NATO allies to secure the border would “free up large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks.” Article 5 is NATO’s collective defense clause, stating that an armed attack on one member is considered an attack on all. It’s the cornerstone of the alliance’s mutual defense guarantee — and in nearly 80 years, it has been invoked only once, when NATO allies responded to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Trump’s remarks represent a sharp departure from how Article 5 has historically been understood and applied. Illegal immigration — no matter the scale — is not typically viewed as an armed attack by another state, which is the standard under the treaty to trigger collective defense.
