However, one big question hangs over the event. Everyone wants to know the answer. Is the US still an ally of Europe?
The Speech Everyone Watched
The conference hall was completely full. Generals and admirals sat in their uniforms. Prime ministers and presidents waited nervously. Diplomats and ambassadors filled the rows. US Congress members and European politicians also attended. Everyone anticipated what Rubio would say.
A Tense Beginning

He criticized several European policies sharply. Free trade came under fire. Mass migration faced strong criticism. Green climate policies also received harsh words. The room grew increasingly uncomfortable. Therefore, the crucial question remains unanswered. Europe continues to wait and wonder.
