Rubio to attend Munich Security Conference amid frayed Translantic ties

Marco Rubio leads over 50 U.S. lawmakers to Munich Security Conference aiming to address a transatlantic 'crisis of trust' and reinforce NATO and regional security commitments.

  • 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.
