US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reassured European leaders at the Munich Security Conference that the United States remains committed to the transatlantic alliance despite criticisms of European policies. He emphasized that the destinies of the US and Europe are "intertwined" and that the US seeks to "revitalise an old friendship."

• Rubio stated the US wants to "renew the greatest civilisation in human history" with Europe.
• European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed being "very much reassured" by Rubio's remarks.
• Rubio criticized European immigration, trade, and climate policies, calling immigration a "threat to civilisation" and a "climate cult" affecting economic policy.
• He echoed calls for Europe to invest more in defense and criticized the UN for its perceived inaction in resolving conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
• Discussions on Iran's nuclear program were also highlighted, with a second round of talks between the US and Iran scheduled in Geneva next week.
