• The Munich Security Conference, the world's premier non-governmental security forum, ends.
• The changing global order and the future of Europe-U.S. relationship have been the main focus.
• Europe perceives the new U.S. security policy as volatile and conditional.
• U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is making efforts to repair the relationship with Europe, but with conditions and warnings.
• Germany's Friedrich Merz and France's Macron stress the need for alliance with U.S., while European nuclear deterrence arises as a topic of debate.
• Donald Trump challenges key principles for international cooperation, causing a change in European mindset.

Conclusion: The geopolitical tension between the U.S. and Europe is escalating, with initiatives and statements seeking a readjustment of the international order. Though there is a will on the part of European leaders to maintain ties with the U.S, the conditions laid by Washington make the path of cooperation very unstable.
