Rubio said this during his speech at the Munich Security Conference.
During his speech, the Secretary of State emphasized the close ties between the United States and Europe.
That's why we Americans can sometimes seem a little blunt and blunt in our advice. The reason for that is that we care deeply. We care deeply about your future and ours, and if we sometimes disagree, our differences stem from our deep sense of concern for Europe, to which we are connected not only economically, not only militarily, but we are connected spiritually and culturally.

At the same time, he assured that under the Trump administration, the United States remains committed to the alliance with Europe.
Rubio added that the US under Trump wants Europe to show strength because "we know that the fate of Europe will never be irrelevant to our national security."
According to Rubio, under Trump's leadership, the United States plans to take on the task of renewal and recovery.
While we are willing to do this ourselves if necessary, we prefer to do it together with you.
Rubio says that the United States and Europe "are one," and also assured that "the fate of Europe will never be indifferent to us."
