Ocasio-Cortez takes progressive vision to Munich: ‘We are ready for the next chapter’

Ocasio-Cortez critiqued recent U.S. policies and linked economic inequality to authoritarianism while advocating for a working-class foreign policy at the conference.

  • Appearing in Munich, Ocasio-Cortez presented a progressive foreign policy critique of the Trump administration’s recent global decisions, linking inequality to authoritarianism.
  • Against that backdrop, Ocasio-Cortez's remarks at the Munich Global Security Conference offered a competing vision to last year when Vice President JD Vance attacked European allies.
  • Ocasio-Cortez replied to a moderator asking about wealth taxes, `I don’t think that anyone, and that we don’t have to wait for anyone president to impose a wealth tax. I think it needs to be done expeditiously,` urging global aid to counter authoritarianism.
  • Observers say Ocasio-Cortez’s Munich appearance has sparked questions about her political ambitions, and Ryan Adams, progressive political consultant, called it a global breakout moment as attendees seek her stance on continuity with a new president.
  • The conference is viewed as a platform for world leaders, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio slated to speak this weekend, highlighting ideological clashes after last year’s Vice President JD Vance warning.
