Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered what supporters are calling a defining foreign policy speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, outlining President Donald Trump's vision for a revitalized transatlantic alliance rooted in sovereignty, shared heritage, and renewed Western strength.
In an 18-minute address that earned a standing ovation from attendees, Rubio framed the United States and Europe as heirs to a common civilizational legacy and urged European leaders to embrace a more self-reliant and confident future.
Rubio's remarks were embraced by Europeans across the continent.
EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen said she was "very much reassured by the speech" noting he is "a good friend, a strong ally."
