Secretary of State Marco Rubio drew a sharp contrast between the Trump administration and its predecessors, saying the current team recognizes that adversaries like China and Russia prioritize their own national interests above all else.

Rubio criticized European nations for what he characterized as a failure to defend their own interests, claiming they are "capitulating to globalism" to their detriment. The comments reflect the administration's "America First" foreign policy stance and skepticism toward multilateral institutions.

The remarks come as the U.S. navigates tensions with Beijing and Moscow while reassessing traditional alliances with European partners.
