加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森和众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯是本周在慕尼黑安全会议上高调亮相、试图对抗总统唐纳德·特朗普的民主党人之一，他们阐述了自己的外交政策愿景以及未来可能采取的行动方向。
“唐纳德·特朗普只是暂时的。他将在三年内卸任，”纽森在一场关于气候变化的小组讨论中表示，“加利福尼亚在这一领域是一个稳定且可靠的伙伴。让人们理解本届政府在相关问题上的暂时性至关重要。”
在关于民粹主义崛起的小组讨论中，奥卡西奥-科尔特斯表示：“我们已准备好迎接下一章，不是让世界走向孤立，而是深化我们在价值观和诚信方面的合作，承诺将更广泛地扩大投入。”
大约有六名怀有2028年总统野心的民主党人将参加此次年度慕尼黑会议。这一会议是政客们测试外交政策方向、在竞选白宫之前提升国际形象的常用场合。
其他可能参与周末活动的2028年潜在候选人包括亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利和鲁本·加列戈、密歇根州参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金和州长格雷琴·惠特默、康涅狄格州参议员克里斯·墨菲以及前商务部长吉娜·雷蒙多。
民主党人此次前往慕尼黑是在副总统JD·万斯（一位潜在的2028年候选人）一年前在会议上批评欧洲领导人之后——万斯指责欧洲领导人压制言论自由、失去移民管控权，并拒绝与政府中的极右翼政党合作。
虽然万斯今年未出席，但经常被提及为2028年候选人的国务卿马尔科·卢比奥将代表特朗普政府出席。在启程前往慕尼黑时，卢比奥告诉记者：“坦率地说，旧世界已经消失了”，“我们生活在地缘政治的新时代。”

“这将要求我们所有人重新审视这个新时代的面貌以及我们的角色，”卢比奥补充道，同时指出欧洲对美国的重要性，“我认为他们想要诚实。他们想知道我们将走向何方，我们希望与他们一起走向何方。”
但许多与会的民主党人试图向欧洲领导人保证美国的承诺。
在接受美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）记者卡西·亨特采访时，凯利驳斥了卢比奥的言论，称：“旧世界已经消失，因为唐纳德·特朗普把它毁了。”
“我现在听到的是，即使我们能够修复这些关系，也需要几代人的时间才能让他们感到安心，”凯利表示，“我认为我们可以解决这个问题。我认为我们能够克服这一点。这需要一位新总统、一个新政府。”
奥卡西奥-科尔特斯表示，民主党寻求“回归基于规则的国际秩序”，并警告不要进入“威权主义时代”，指责特朗普将西半球变成了“他的私人沙箱”。
在民粹主义小组讨论中，这位冉冉升起的进步派领袖还提出了“以工人阶级为中心的政治”，以“抵御威权主义的祸害”。当被问及“竞选总统时是否会实施财富税”，奥卡西奥-科尔特斯回应道：“我们不必等待任何一位总统来实施财富税。我认为这需要迅速完成。”
这位纽约州民主党人当天晚些时候还与惠特默共同参加了一个关于外交政策未来的小组讨论。在前往慕尼黑之前，奥卡西奥-科尔特斯得到了独立人士、佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯的前外交政策顾问马特·杜斯的建议。
对抗特朗普
在接受CNN记者卡西·亨特采访时，纽森警告特朗普对传统美国盟友造成的损害。
“他们视我们为破坏者。他们认为我们不可靠，而且很多人认为这种破坏是不可挽回的。他们认为我们永远不会恢复到原来的状态，”纽森说，“我并不完全相信这一点。”
“无论发生什么，我们都可以弥补、转变和修复。虽然重建信任很困难，但从多国视角来看，有太多的利益攸关——特朗普卸任后，我们有大量工作要做，”纽森补充道。

对纽森而言，此次慕尼黑之行是他过去一个月内第二次亮相国际舞台。他1月份出席了在瑞士达沃斯举行的世界经济论坛，并成为特朗普在峰会上演讲的焦点。
去年，纽森[前往巴西参加COP 30]——一场国际气候会议，而特朗普政府拒绝派遣官方代表团出席。
“美国成了背景板。中国派遣了近800名代表。美国甚至没有派一名速记员，根本无人出席，”纽森周五表示，“他们完全退出了，放弃了在低碳绿色增长问题上的任何角色。”
当被问及“如果‘成为总统，或许是下任总统’，将如何在气候问题上恢复美国的信任”时，纽森转而谈到了“我作为加利福尼亚州长的日常工作”以及加州在该问题上取得的进展。

“我们早就超越了这一问题上的党派分歧，因为没有所谓的‘共和党温度计’或‘民主党温度计’，只有现实。我的州民已经被现实警醒，”他表示。
纽森的办公室称，他还将在慕尼黑会见德国总理弗里德里希·默茨，并签署一份关于与乌克兰建立新伙伴关系的谅解备忘录。
在关于加沙的小组讨论中，墨菲表示特朗普“持续进行疏远欧洲盟友的运动”，并表示他必须“利用影响力”与以色列政府合作，以确保加沙下一步计划的实施。
“人道主义局势在道德上仍然不可接受，”他说，“如果我们看不到在清理废墟、提供人道主义和医疗援助、建造真正可供人们居住的永久性避难所方面取得切实、有意义的进展，我真的担心美以关系的长期健康。”
前拜登政府商务部长、罗德岛州州长雷蒙多也出席了此次会议，并主持了关于经济安全和新兴技术的小组讨论。斯洛特金计划在周六参加关于保卫欧洲和支持乌克兰的小组讨论，而加列戈则预定在关于西半球安全的小组讨论中发言。

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were among the high-profile Democrats looking to counter [President Donald Trump] at the Munich Security Conference this week as they outlined their foreign policy visions and what could come next.
“Donald Trump is temporary. He’ll be gone in three years,” said Newsom during a panel on climate change. “California is a stable and reliable partner in this space. And it’s important for folks to understand the temporary nature of this current administration in relationship to the issue.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke on a panel about the rise of populism, said “We are ready for the next chapter, not to have the world turn to isolation, but to deepen our partnership on, on greater and increased commitment to integrity to our values.”
Roughly half a dozen Democrats with potential presidential ambitions in 2028 are descending on the annual Munich conference, a frequent stop for politicians to test the foreign policy waters and elevate their own profiles on the international stage ahead of White House runs.
Other possible 2028 hopefuls participating in the weekend events include Arizona Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy and former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
Democrats traveled to Munich one year after Vice President JD Vance, a potential 2028 contender, [chastised European leaders] at the conference, accusing them of suppressing free speech, losing control of immigration and refusing to work with hard-right parties in government.
While Vance is not in attendance this year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is often included in chatter about 2028, was set to represent the Trump administration. As he departed for Munich, Rubio told reporters “the old world is gone, frankly” and “we live in a new era of geopolitics.”

“It’s going to require all of us to sort of re-examine what that looks like and what our role is going to be,” Rubio added, also noting that Europe is important to the US. “I think they want honesty. They want to know where we’re going, where we’d like to go, where we’d like to go with them.”
But many Democrats in attendance sought to assure European leaders of their commitment.
In an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt, Kelly pushed back on Rubio’s comments, saying, “The old world is gone because Donald Trump blew it up.”
“What I’m hearing now is, even if we are able to repair these relationships, it’s going to take generations before they feel comfortable,” Kelly said. “I think we can fix this. I think we can get past this. It’s going to take a new president, a new administration.”
Ocasio-Cortez said Democrats are seeking “a return to a rules-based order” and warned against an “age of authoritarianism,” accusing Trump of turning the Western Hemisphere into “his personal sandbox.”
During the panel on populism, the progressive rising star also pitched “working class centered politics” to “stave off the scourges of authoritarianism.” Asked if she would impose a wealth tax “when you run for president,” Ocasio-Cortez responded, “We don’t have to wait for any one president to impose a wealth tax. I think that it needs to be done expeditiously.”
The New York Democrat also appeared on a panel with Whitmer on the future of foreign policy later in the day. In the lead-up to her appearance at Munich, Ocasio-Cortez was advised by Matt Duss, a former foreign policy adviser to independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Countering Trump
In an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt, Newsom warned of the damage Trump has caused with traditional US allies.
“They see us as a wrecking ball. They see us as unreliable and a lot of them think irrevocable. They don’t think we’ll ever come back to our original form,” Newsom said. “I’m not as convinced of that.”
“Whatever happens, we can undo, we can shape-shift, we can fix. And while trust is difficult to reestablish, there’s too much at stake in a multinational — from a multi-international perspective, that we have a lot of work to do once Trump’s done,” Newsom added.

For Newsom, the Munich appearance marked his second turn on the international stage within the past month. He was on hand at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January and emerged as a focal point in Trump’s own speech at the summit.
Last year, Newsom [traveled to Brazil for COP 30], an international climate conference to which the Trump administration declined to send an official delegation.
“The United States was a footnote. China sent close to 800 delegates. The United States didn’t even send a stenographer. They sent nobody,” Newsom said Friday. “They’ve completely walked away, abdicated any role in relationship to the issue of low carbon green growth.”
Asked what he would do to restore trust in the US on climate issues if he “were to become president, maybe the next president,” Newsom turned to talking about “my day job as governor of California” and the work his state has done on the issue.

“We have long moved beyond the partisanship on this issue, because there is no Republican thermometer, there’s no Democratic thermometer, there’s just reality. And people in my state have been mugged by reality,” he said.
Newsom was also set to meet with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and sign a memorandum of understanding relating to a new partnership with Ukraine while in Munich, his office said.
Speaking during a panel on Gaza, Murphy argued Trump has “engaged in a consistent campaign to alienate our friends in Europe” and said he must use “leverage” with the Israeli government to ensure the next steps of plan for Gaza are implemented.
“The humanitarian situation continues to be morally unacceptable,” he said “I really worry about the long term health of the US-Israel relationship, if we don’t see real, meaningful progress in the clearing of rubble, in the delivery of humanitarian and medical aid, the construction of actual, real, permanent shelters in which people can live.”
Raimondo, a former commerce secretary under President Joe Biden and governor of Rhode Island, was also on hand to moderate a panel on economic security and emerging technology. Slotkin is scheduled to participate in a panel conversation Saturday about defending Europe and supporting Ukraine while Gallego is slated to speak on a panel about security for the Western Hemisphere.
