MUNICH (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday emphasized the United States’ desire to preserve the trans-Atlantic alliance, declaring that it 'will always be a child of Europe' at a conference where a rift with Washington’s European allies opened up a year ago. Rubio remarked at the Munich Security Conference that the 'euphoria' of the Western victory in the Cold War led to a dangerous delusion of triumph, which is now threatening the very institutions that defeated both the Nazi regime and the Soviet Union. His statements underlined the critical necessity for renewed cooperation and mutual respect among U.S. and European leaders to face current global challenges together.
