- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a robust message of unity with Europe on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, saying Washington's destiny was intertwined with Europe and that it had no intention of abandoning the Transatlantic alliance.

The keynote speech was a sea change from a year ago when Vice President JD Vance from the same stage launched an attack on European leaders accusing them of censoring free speech and failing to control immigration.

"In a time of headlines heralding the end of the Transatlantic era, let it be known and clear to all that this is neither our goal nor our wish, because for us Americans, our home may be in the Western Hemisphere, but we will always be a child of Europe," Rubio said.
