卢比奥坚持特朗普的坚定立场,但在对欧洲盟友的讲话中语气更为缓和


2026年2月14日 / 美国东部时间上午6:33 / CBS/美联社

美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周六向美国盟友传递了令人安心的信息,在阐述政府重塑跨大西洋联盟并推动其优先事项的意图时,语气虽不那么强硬但仍保持坚定。这一表态发生在唐纳德·特朗普总统对传统盟友的敌意言论持续一年多之后。

卢比奥在一年一度的慕尼黑安全会议上提醒听众,美国在欧洲有着数百年的根基,称美国将永远与欧洲大陆紧密相连,同时推动与二战后世界秩序支柱——国际关系和国际机构的关系变革。

卢比奥在会议上的发言是在副总统JD·万斯去年对同一听众进行严厉批评欧洲价值观之后一年。特朗普政府随后采取了一系列针对盟友的声明和行动,包括特朗普上月短暂威胁对几个欧洲国家施加新关税,以确保美国对北约盟友丹麦的半自治领土格陵兰岛的控制权。

周五,德国总理弗里德里希·默茨在今年会议开幕时呼吁美国和欧洲“共同修复和重振跨大西洋信任”,称即使在美国也不够强大,无法在旧秩序不复存在的世界中独自前行。但他和其他欧洲官员明确表示,他们将坚持自己的价值观,包括言论自由、气候变化和自由贸易的处理方式。

“欧洲之子”

虽然卢比奥的语气比过去一年常见的强硬态度更为平静和令人安心,但他明确表示,特朗普政府在政策上依然坚定不移。他谴责“气候狂热”和“前所未有的大规模移民浪潮,威胁到我们社会的凝聚力”。

卢比奥认为,“西方在冷战中胜利的‘ euphoria(狂喜)’导致了一种‘危险的错觉’,即我们进入了‘历史的终结’,每个国家现在都将成为自由民主国家,仅靠贸易和商业纽带就能取代国家主权……我们现在将生活在一个没有国界的世界,每个人都成为世界公民。”

“我们共同犯下了这些错误,现在我们有责任共同面对这些事实,并共同前进以重建信任,”卢比奥说。

“这就是为什么我们美国人有时可能会显得有些直接和迫切,”他说,“这就是为什么特朗普总统要求我们的欧洲朋友认真对待并互惠互利。”

卢比奥表示,跨大西洋时代的终结“既不是我们的目标,也不是我们的愿望”,并补充道:“我们的家可能在西半球,但我们永远是欧洲的孩子。”

他承认,“从卡平yong到坎大哈,我们并肩作战,流血牺牲”,这与特朗普对北约盟友在阿富汗驻军的贬低言论形成对比,后者引起了民愤。“今天我在此明确表示,美国正在为新的世纪繁荣铺平道路,并且再次希望与你们——我们珍视的盟友和最古老的朋友——携手共进。”

陪同卢比奥的美国官员表示,他的信息与万斯去年的类似,但目的是让听众更容易接受,他们承认过去一年特朗普的许多言论让听众感到反感。

欧洲人感到安心但不满足

欧盟执行委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩表示,卢比奥的讲话“非常令人安心”,但她指出“在政府中,有些人在这些问题上的语气更为严厉”。

在她的会议讲话中,她强调“欧洲必须变得更加独立”,包括在国防方面。她坚持欧洲的“数字主权”——即对社交媒体仇恨言论的处理方式。

英国首相基尔·斯塔默表示,“我们不应该陷入自满的温床。”他说,英国必须重新加强与欧洲的联系,帮助欧洲大陆“在国防方面站稳脚跟”,并表示需要进行投资,“从过度依赖转向相互依存”。

卢比奥发表讲话后不久,英国宣布将派遣其航母打击群(由英国皇家海军最大的军舰领导,包括战斗机)穿越北大西洋和北极。此次部署将访问美国港口,预计美军战机将从“威尔士亲王号”航母甲板上起降。国防大臣约翰·希利表示,此次部署“将有助于使英国具备战备能力,提升我们对北约的贡献,并加强与主要盟友的行动,确保英国国内安全和海外实力。”

欧盟和北约成员国爱沙尼亚国防部长汉诺·佩夫库尔表示,称美国是“欧洲之子”是“一个相当大胆的声明”。

“这是一次很好的演讲,今天这里需要这样的声音,但这并不意味着我们现在可以高枕无忧了,”他告诉美联社,“所以还有很多工作要做。”

此次会议还指出了跨大西洋联盟之外的紧张局势。

中国外交部长王毅在卢比奥之后发表讲话,称中国对特朗普尊重习近平主席和中国感到“欣慰”,但警告称美国国内一些人对中国的崛起持谨慎态度。

“我们看到,一些势力和个人仍在尽最大努力压制和遏制中国,仍在以各种手段攻击和诽谤中国,”王毅说。

他警告说,“丛林法则和单边主义已经盛行”,一些国家“甚至复兴了冷战思维。”

Rubio sticks to Trump’s firm stance but takes softer tone in speech to European allies

February 14, 2026 / 6:33 AM EST / CBS/AP

Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a reassuring message to America’s allies on Saturday, striking a less aggressive but still firm tone about the administration’s intent to reshape the trans-Atlantic alliance and push its priorities after more than a year of President Donald Trump’s often-hostile rhetoric toward traditional allies.

Reminding his audience at the annual Munich Security Conference about America’s centuries-long roots in Europe, Rubio said the United States would remain forever tied to the continent even as it pushes for changes in the relationship and the international institutions that have been the bulwark of the post-World War II world order.

Rubio addressed the conference a year after Vice President JD Vance stunned the same audience with a harsh critique of European values. A series of statements and moves from the Trump administration targeting allies followed, including Trump’s short-lived threat last month to impose new tariffs on several European countries in a bid to secure U.S. control of Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.

On Friday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had opened this year’s gathering by calling for the U.S. and Europe to “repair and revive trans-Atlantic trust together,” saying that even the U.S. isn’t powerful enough to go it alone in an world whose old order no longer exists. But he and other European officials made clear that they will stand by their values, including their approach to free speech, climate change and free trade.

‘A child of Europe’

While offering a calmer and more reassuring tone than the one often heard over the past year, Rubio made clear that the Trump administration is sticking to its guns on policy. He denounced “a climate cult” and “an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies.”

Rubio argued that the “euphoria” of the Western victory in the Cold War led to a “dangerous delusion that we had entered ‘the end of history,’ that every nation would now be a liberal democracy, that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood … and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.”

“We made these mistakes together and now together we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward to rebuild,” Rubio said.

“This is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our counsel,” he said. “This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe.”

Rubio said that an end of the trans-Atlantic era “is neither our goal nor our wish,” adding that “our home may be in the Western hemisphere, but we will always be a child of Europe.”

He acknowledged that “we have bled and died side-by-side on battlefields from Kapyong to Kandahar,” a contrast with disparaging remarks by Trump about NATO allies’ troops in Afghanistan that drew an outcry. “And I’m here today to make it clear that America is charting the path for a new century of prosperity. and that once again, we want to do it together with you, our cherished allies and our oldest friends.”

U.S. officials accompanying Rubio said his message was much the same as Vance’s last year but was intended to have a softer landing on the audience, which they acknowledged had recoiled at much of Trump’s rhetoric over the past year.

Europeans reassured but not complacent

The president of the European Union’s executive commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said Rubio’s speech was “very reassuring” but noted that “in the administration, some have a harsher tone on these topics.”

In her speech to the conference, she stressed that “Europe must become more independent,” including on defense. She insisted on Europe’s “digital sovereignty” — its approach to hate speech on social media.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that “we shouldn’t get in the warm bath of complacency. He said the U.K. must re-forge closer ties with Europe to help the continent “stand on our own two feet” in its own defense, and said there needs to be investment that “moves us from overdependence to interdependence.”

Shortly after Rubio’s remarks, the United Kingdom said it would send its Carrier Strike Group, led by the largest warship in the Royal Navy and including fighter jets, across the North Atlantic and Arctic. The deployment will visit a U.S. port, and U.S. jets are expected to operate from the deck of the warship, the HMS Prince of Wales. Defense secretary John Healey said the deployment “will help make Britain warfighting ready, boost our contribution to NATO, and strengthen our operations with key allies, keeping the UK secure at home and strong abroad.”

Hanno Pevkur, the defense minister of EU and NATO member Estonia, said it was “quite a bold statement to say that America is ‘a child of Europe.’”

“It was a good speech, needed here today, but that doesn’t mean that we can rest on pillows now,” he told The Associated Press. “So still a lot of work has to be done.”

The conference pointed to tensions beyond those in the trans-Atlantic alliance.

Speaking after Rubio, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing felt “gratified” that Trump respects President Xi Jinping and China, but warned that some voices in the U.S. are leery of China’s rise.

“We see that some forces and some people are still trying their best to suppress and contain China, and are still attacking and slandering China by any means,” Wang said.

He cautioned that “law of the jungle and unilateralism have taken hold” and said some countries “even revive the Cold War mentality.”
