US ABANDONING EUROPE? Rubio Skips Critical Ukraine Meeting in Munich | World News

Описание: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio skipped a Berlin Format meeting on Ukraine during the Munich Security Conference, citing scheduling conflicts, according to the Financial Times, prompting concern among European officials. Days earlier, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also missed a NATO defense ministers’ meeting in Brussels, with Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby representing Washington and urging a NATO based on “partnership rather than dependency.” While U.S. officials reaffirmed commitment to NATO’s Article 5 collective defense clause and extended nuclear deterrence, the absences and calls for increased European defense spending have fueled questions about Washington’s evolving role within the alliance.
