Kroenig quoted in The Guardian on Secretary Rubio’s speech at the Munich Security Conference

By Atlantic Council

On February 17, Atlantic Council vice president and Scowcroft Center senior director Matthew Kroenig was quoted in The Guardian on Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech at the Munich Security Conference.

[Rubio] did not repudiate anything in Vice President JD Vance’s more pugnacious speech last year, but he presented the same themes in a more positive light, focusing on shared challenges facing both Europe and the United States and how allies can work together to address them.
