The Munich Security Conference has historically represented strong US-European ties, but recent years have seen strains, especially since Donald Trump's presidency. The upcoming conference from February 14 to 16 will showcase growing tensions, as Trump's 'America First' policy sets a confrontational tone towards allies. Notable figures, including Vice President JD Vance and NATO's new Secretary-General, will attend, but with a shifting landscape of foreign relations, debates may reveal underlying conflicts between the US and Europe, marking a significant shift in traditional cooperation.
The MSC is an informal meeting at which no decisions are made, encouraging an open exchange of views and allowing conflicts to be openly discussed.
Trump's 'America First' approach is a clear shift, impacting trans-Atlantic relations, as he argues that European allies have been taking advantage of the US.
