Welcome to Meet the Press Now.

I'm Kristen Welker.

In Washington, we begin with a striking moment on the world stage and the latest indication

of how seriously and significantly the relationships between

the U.S. and its traditional partners and allies have frayed. Right now, world leaders are gathered

in Germany for the annual Munich Security Conference. Ahead of the conference organizers

releasing their annual report writing, quote, the world has entered a period of wrecking ball politics and goes on to

is not only Europe's competitive advantage.

It's also the United States competitive advantage.

So let's repair and rewive transatlantic trust together. We, the Europeans,

we are doing our part. All eyes will be on Secretary of State Marco Rubio tomorrow to see how he responds when he addresses the forum.

Remember, it was just a year ago when Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a scathing rebuke of the nation's European allies at the same conference, scolding European nations for not focusing on what he

called, quote, the threat from within and saying Europe's real problems was its mass migration

policies. It comes as many allies and partners to the United States are questioning whether they can

One of the biggest points of tension remains President Trump's desire to take over Greenland. Here's what he said about that today. Well, I think Greenland's going to want us, but we get along very well with Europe.
