Rubio: The U.S. and Europe Are "Closely Connected"

Reference News Network, February 14 report: According to Reuters, on February 14, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio sent a strong signal of solidarity with Europe at the Munich Security Conference, stating that Washington's fate is closely linked to Europe, and the United States has no intention of abandoning the transatlantic alliance.

This keynote speech contrasted sharply with one year ago. At that time, U.S. Vice President Vance criticized European leaders on the same stage, accusing them of suppressing freedom of speech and failing to control immigration.

Rubio said: "Amid major headlines declaring the end of the transatlantic era, let everyone be clear: that is neither our goal nor our wish, because for us Americans, our home may be in the Western Hemisphere, but we are always children of Europe." (Translated by Hu Guanghe)
