00:00U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on Europe to work with Washington in a civilizational quest to save
00:07the West as he addressed the Munich Security Conference.
00:11The top U.S. diplomat took on a softer tone compared to Vice President J.D. Vance a year ago,
00:16who accused European leaders of suppressing free speech and failing to control migration in a chastising speech.
00:24Rubio urged Europe to join his country in a joint cause of ushering in a new century of prosperity.
00:30He said the U.S. and Europe have always been historically, culturally, and economically intertwined, but must also share principles.
00:38Though Rubio did not use the direct language favored by the Trump administration, like calling Europe weak and decaying, the
00:45core message remained intact.
00:47He lambasted liberal politicians, who he argued made a, quote,
00:51conscious choice to dismantle the West, its industrial capacity, and outsource critical supply chains to rivals.
00:58He also framed mass migration as a key source of conflict in the West, saying it's a crisis that is
01:04transforming and destabilizing its societies.
01:07Peace.
