U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, warned that Europe could lose its common values with the U.S., thus affecting the long-term alliance.

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, expressed concerns about the possible loss of common values between Europe and the United States, in the context of the new U.S. national security strategy. During a press conference, Rubio emphasized that the relationship between the two parties is based on a common culture and civilization, as well as on fundamental values such as human rights, freedom, and democracy.

He warned that if these values are no longer prioritized, the long-term alliance could be threatened, reducing it to a mere defense agreement. His comments come in the wake of criticisms from the Trump administration regarding the political landscape in the European Union, viewed as a threat to American interests.
