Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the need for American allies in Europe to increase military spending during remarks in Greece, aligning with President Trump's 5 percent GDP defense benchmark. Rubio praised Greece for its defense commitments and highlighted ongoing cooperation on intelligence sharing against terrorist threats and joint training with Florida's National Guard. He also emphasized collaboration on restricting migration and combating transnational crime, framing these efforts as critical to preserving Western civilization.
Rubio's Athens visit, which included a news conference with Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis, underscored Greece's strategic partnership with the U.S. on border security and counterterrorism. The secretary warned against policies that could threaten the 'birthplace of the West' through poor decisions on migration and cultural preservation. His remarks echoed themes from a prior Munich speech about immigration limits and civilizational identity, with a major address scheduled later at the Acropolis on Western heritage and future challenges.
