Marco Rubio Highlights Trans-Atlantic Alliance Vitality at Munich Security Conference

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio underscored America's commitment to the trans-Atlantic alliance on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference. He referred to the alliance as a 'child of Europe,' emphasizing its foundational roots and ongoing significance.

At the conference, Rubio reflected on the complacency that followed the Western victory in the Cold War, describing it as a 'dangerous delusion of triumph.' He cautioned that this mindset is endangering the institutions that once countered the Nazi regime and the Soviet Union.

Rubio's remarks sought to reassure European allies of the United States' ongoing dedication to the alliance despite previous tensions with Washington, aiming to mend a rift that emerged over the past year.
