Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s address to the Munich Security Conference last weekend had an intellectual presence and warmth not normally seen in the statements of this administration. In this it was the opposite of Vice President JD Vance’s speech to the conference last year. The difference in approach and emotional register seemed to imply something, yet the two speeches didn’t diverge in policy. Mr. Rubio’s marked a continuation. Yet it had a different atmosphere, was more morally confident than Mr. Vance’s, and though it carried a request and asked to be understood, it betrayed something important: The White House thinks it has already won on the issue of Europe, and the job now is to give Europe a way to join in and agree.
