"Trump and Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, were looking to withdraw the United States from the entire world so that we can turn into an age of authoritarianism, as they sought to carve out a world where Donald Trump can command the Western Hemisphere and Latin America as his personal sandbox, where Putin can saber rattle around Europe and try to bully our own allies there."
"Speaking at a panel on populism on Friday, Ocasio-Cortez outlined what she called an alternative vision for a leftwing US foreign policy, challenging the Trump administration's shift to the right in front an audience of US allies who have grown increasingly wary of the US' increasingly nationalist and militaristic global posture. She also condemned the US capture of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, Trump's threats to annex Greenland and the US support for Israel's war on Gaza."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Donald Trump of tearing apart the transatlantic alliance and of seeking to usher in an age of authoritarianism, condemning nationalist and militaristic shifts in US foreign policy. She presented an alternative leftwing vision for US foreign policy at the Munich Security Conference, challenging proposals to withdraw US engagement globally and warning that such withdrawal would enable authoritarian actors like Putin and permit Trump to treat the Western Hemisphere as a personal sphere of influence. She criticized US actions regarding Venezuela, Greenland threats, and support for Israel in Gaza, positioning herself as a counterweight to rightwing policymakers.
