Rubio Offers Soft Touch to EU Leaders, Promising US Support if They Change Course
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reassured Europe's leaders that the US will back a change in course by its European allies during his speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reassured European leaders that the US will back those who change their course in response to growing tensions, a departure from Trump administration's tough stance on Russia and NATO. In his speech at the Munich Security Conference, Rubio offered a more conciliatory approach, seeking to reassure allies amid concerns over Moscow's increasing assertiveness. The comments marked a shift away from the Trump administration's hawkish rhetoric, which had often been critical of European countries for not doing enough to counter Russian aggression. By taking this softer tone, Rubio aims to rebuild trust and cooperation between Washington and its European partners.
