US EditionRubio to attend Munich Security Conference amid frayed Translantic ties
Marco Rubio leads over 50 U.S. Congress members at Munich Security Conference to address transatlantic trust issues and Europe's strategic unity, organizers said.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead a sizeable U.S. delegation to the Munich Security Conference starting on Friday and is expected to deliver a speech on Saturday.
- Wolfgang Ischinger warned that `At the moment, transatlantic relations are, in my view, in a considerable crisis of trust and credibility`, while Europe aims to assert itself with stronger capabilities.
- Attendance includes prominent U.S. figures such as more than 50 members of the U.S. Congress, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, following JD Vance's last year accusations that unsettled allies.
- Ischinger said he expected Rubio to focus on U.S. foreign policy, as Ukraine's President Zelenskiy will lead Ukraine's delegation shortly before the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion.
- The conference will include Palestinian foreign minister, Israeli officials, and Maria Corina Machado virtually, while Russia has not sought re‑entry since 2022.
