Selv om USA’s udenrigsminister holdt en tale, hvor han lagde vægt på, at USA og Europa hører sammen, så mener Claudia Major, at selve talens indhold på mange måder om den amerikanske vicepræsident J.D. Vances tale sidste år, hvor han talte dunder mod Europa.

It’s telling what the White House highlights with regard to Rubio’s speech. „Shared heritage“, „Christian foundations“, „cultural legacy“, „cultural preservation“, and a rejection of globalism. That‘s at the heart of its understanding of „Western civilization“.

... and it was this republican break with tradition, rather than a supposed shared heritage of "Christan values", sovereignty and white supremacy, that made the USA an attractive role model for many Europeans - from French revolutionaries to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ("Amerika, du hast es besser").
interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

Rubio promoted several Trump administration positions against many close US allies: disdain for policies to reduce carbon emissions, staunchly criticized the UN and lauded unilateral U.S. military action.

Rubio says U.S., Europe ‘belong together,’ despite rifts over Trump policies
While some saw the remarks as reassuring, key European leaders renewed calls for more independence from the U.S. amid tensions over issues like Greenland and Ukraine.
