Today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a landmark address at the Munich Security Conference, boldly reaffirming President Donald J. Trump’s commitment to a revitalized transatlantic alliance grounded in mutual strength, shared heritage, and unapologetic defense of Western civilization. Drawing on Europe’s profound Christian foundations and cultural legacy — which helped forge the United States — Secretary Rubio urged European leaders to reclaim their sovereignty, confront common threats, and build a confident, self-reliant continent.
Secretary Rubio synthesized President Trump’s America First foreign policy: one that brings sovereign nations together in common purpose, rejects outdated globalist structures, rebuffs self-destructive policies such as unchecked mass migration and climate extremism, and secures prosperity and cultural preservation for future generations.
The speech drew widespread acclaim:
Vice President JD Vance: “This is a great speech. Worth watching the whole thing.”
Sen. Katie Britt: “Incredible. Watch this. Listen to every word.”
Sen. Joni Ernst: “Powerful words from @SecRubio! When our allies and partnerships are stronger, our adversaries are weaker. As America charts the path for a new century of prosperity, we hope to do it alongside our European allies.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “@SecRubio did a masterful job explaining why Europe should make new decisions regarding the direction the continent is going. He stressed the following: – Europe’s outcome matters dramatically to America – Modern America was birthed on the European continent but we have our own mind It is my hope that Europe continues to become more in control of the mass migration that has plagued the continent, and more committed to its own defense. Secretary Rubio explained — as well as anyone I’ve heard — that America First doesn’t mean America Alone. America First means a new relationship with Europe that is equally beneficial. To those in Europe who want to hold onto the old way of business, you are making a mistake – it hasn’t worked. Well done, Marco.”
Sen. Mike Lee: “Secretary Rubio speaks truth to power”
Sen. Dave McCormick: “@SecRubio gave a remarkable speech in Munich, Germany. It’s a must watch!”

Rep. Michael Baumgartner: “Secretary Rubio gave it straight to Europe’s leaders. America wants to partner with Europe, but Europe has to get its act together and build a real military, reject socialism, stop climate extremism, and defend our mutual cultural heritage.”
Rep. Carlos Gimenez: “Secretary of State Marco Rubio yet again proves how he is the greatest diplomat of our times: eloquent, thoughtful, visionary — simply brilliant.”

Rep. Mike Lawler: “The remarks delivered by @SecRubio were a tour de force and perfectly encapsulated the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. America and our European allies must unite against the unholy alliance that seeks to undermine and destabilize Europe, America, and the free world.”
Rep. Nathaniel Moran: “@SecRubio delivered a historic speech at the Munich Security Conference today. Rightfully, he did so without fear, without reservation, and without apology. His clear and precise words of truth reinforced the principles, purposes, and steadfast resolve that have motivated American strength in the past and that now give renewed direction for the future. The United States of America will not fade quietly into the night; instead, we will stand victoriously with our allies against the evildoers of this world.”
Rep. Greg Murphy: “Literally one of the best, if not the best, speeches regarding the need to ‘wake up’ and abandon Liberal policies that are destroying Europe and the US. Amen @SecRubio!!”
