There is NO evidence this threat was ever made. Article 13 of NATO allows countries to withdraw, but there is NO expulsion mechanism. It does NOT make sense for the Secretary-General to issue a threat he can't carry out. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/SID-ECAE8DB0-F591EC88/natolive/official_texts_17120.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_from_NATO The original source is Russian state media. https://www.newsweek.com/did-nato-chief-vow-kick-us-out-over-trumps-ukraine-plan-what-we-know-mark-rutte-1983779#:~:text=The%20allegations%20on%20X%2C%20formerly%20known%20as%20Twitter%2C%20of%20Rutte%27s%20expulsion%20of%20the%20U.S.%20from%20NATO%20followed%20the%20publication%20of%20a%20note%20in%20Pravda%20EN%2C%20a%20Russian%20news%20portal%2C%20on%20Sunday.%20It%20originated%20from%20a%20post%20on%20Telegram
