"Will this be the last one?"
"the world has entered a period of wrecking-ball politics."
"I think the congresswoman shares a lot of that skepticism of traditional security institutions,"
The Munich Security Conference faced renewed uncertainty about its future amid mounting transatlantic tensions and controversial statements by U.S. leaders. The conference traces its origins to 1963 and founder Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist. President Donald Trump's repeated comments about invading Greenland and Vice President JD Vance's confrontational speech intensified doubts about alliance cohesion. The conference's official security report declared that "the world has entered a period of wrecking-ball politics." Numerous U.S. Democrats attended to present alternative foreign-policy positions, including several potential 2028 presidential candidates. High-profile American attendees included Gavin Newsom, Mark Kelly, Ruben Gallego, Gretchen Whitmer, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a first major trip abroad and participated in panels at a traditionally hawkish security forum.
