Democrats seek to reassure Europe about post-Trump America
Read Original Source
Gavin Newsom, Democratic governor of California, told attendees that "Donald Trump is temporary" US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the centre of attention at the Munich Security Summit, as European leaders wondered apprehensively what tone he would strike in his remarks on Saturday. While his speech did not fully allay their concerns, it has been viewed as a reassurance to allies that while US relations may have frayed under Donald Trump, they will not break.
