MUNICH (AP) — Long regarded as a celebration of the U.S.-led post-World War II international order, the Munich Security Conference this year will be more of a reflection of America’s political turmoil.
And overshadowing it all will be Trump’s threat to not automatically come to the defense of European allies should they be attacked by Russia.
That is a cornerstone of NATO’s founding treaty, which has taken on additional significance since Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine in 2022.
Blinken, too, will be conveying that message in Munich, according to the top U.S. diplomat for Europe, James O’Brien.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz assailed Trump’s comments.
