Trump’s Conditions for Europe Unveiled in Rubio’s Munich Speech
At the Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a message that could reshape transatlantic relations. While offering reassurance that America remains committed to Europe, Rubio made it clear that President Trump's foreign policy priorities will define the partnership going forward.
