Top international security figures are gathering for the Munich Security Conference, which last year set the tone for a growing rift between the United States and Europe. It brings together many top European officials with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others. The conference opens Friday with a speech by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, one of 15 heads of state or government from European Union countries expected to attend. Other guests include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. In keeping with the conference’s tradition, there will also be a large delegation of members of the U.S. Congress.
