At the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a powerful message emphasizing solidarity with Europe. Rubio stated that Washington's fate is inextricably linked with Europe, affirming the United States' commitment to the Transatlantic alliance.

This speech marked a significant shift from the previous year when Vice President JD Vance criticized European leaders on the same stage, accusing them of stifling free speech and struggling with immigration management.

Rubio declared, "In a time of headlines heralding the end of the Transatlantic era, let it be known and clear to all that this is neither our goal nor our wish." He further emphasized the United States' deep-rooted connections, both geographically and culturally, to Europe.
