“We Belong Together”, Rubio Tells Europe US Wants Renewed Alliance | Full Speech | MSC 2026

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a friendly and reassuring assessment of America’s relations with Europe under President Donald Trump’s administration, saying Saturday that the blunt tone of previous criticisms was intended to spur a renaissance in trans-Atlantic ties. Rubio addressed the Munich Security Conference a year after Vice President JD Vance stunned the same audience with a harsh critique of European values. On Friday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz opened this year's gathering by calling for the United States and Europe to “repair and revive trans-Atlantic trust together,” saying that even the U.S. isn’t powerful enough to go it alone in an world whose old order has withered. n18oc_crux | n18oc_world #marcorubio #rubio #msc #europe #usa #donaldtrump #diplomacy #munichsecurityconference CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
