US Secretary of State Marco Rubio assured at the Munich Security Conference that the United States has no intention of abandoning its alliance with Europe, emphasizing that the fate of the US is inextricably linked to Europe. He underscored the continued US commitment to ending the war in Ukraine, while also expressing reservations about Russia's true intentions.
