商贾复扬言欲退北约，此言亦真亦伪，须察其关节。但凡商贾行事不顺、言无人听、需人助威而乏同道者，辄以退盟相胁，以求瞩目，餍其嗜好聚光灯闪烁之癖。谓之真者，盖因其商贾本性，不做蚀本买卖，且伊朗战事中，北约盟员不力，使其颜面尽失。‌‌ 谓之伪者，若诚欲退，早当退之；彼不过以此挟北约徒众，逞其吆喝指挥之豪横心志。至其能否真退，彼实无权独断，须待国会准允。‌‌ The merchant once again declares his intent to withdraw from NATO. This statement is both true and false, and a key point must be noted. Whenever the merchant encounters setbacks, finds his words ignored, or needs vocal support but lacks allies, he threatens to exit the alliance to attract attention and satisfy his peculiar fondness for the spotlight's glare.‌‌ It is true insofar as it aligns perfectly with his merchant特质 of avoiding unprofitable deals, and because during the Iran conflict, NATO members' failures caused him significant loss of face.‌‌ It is false because if he truly intended to withdraw, he would have done so long ago. He merely uses this to coerce NATO followers and indulge his desire to command and show off.‌‌ As for whether he can actually withdraw, he lacks the sole authority to do so; it requires congressional approval.‌‌
