Munich, Germany - February 13, 2025 The United States and Europe are at odds on many issues at the ongoing Munich Security Conference, the world's leading forum for debating international security policy. The Munich Security Conference is taking place from Friday to Sunday in Munich, Germany. This year's conference focuses on global security challenges such as global governance and climate security. When the future of EU-U.S. relations remains uncertain, the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, and the geopolitical situation is complex, divergences between the U.S. and Europe have become increasingly prominent. The recent announcement by the U.S. to impose high tariffs on certain European goods has sparked strong opposition from European countries. Several nations, including Germany, believe that the U.S. tariff policy further exacerbates tensions in transatlantic trade relations. The "America First" policy pursued by U.S. President Donald Trump during his previous term has already created rifts in U.S.-European relations, and these high tariffs will undoubtedly escalate the conflict between the two sides. The Ukraine crisis has been going on for nearly three years. Western countries have provided Ukraine with large amounts of military aid, while there has been no substantial progress in advancing the resolution of the conflict. Trump claimed during the election campaign that he could quickly end the conflict, but his "deal" caused widespread controversy. It is reported that the plan involves Ukraine's rare mineral resources in exchange for continued U.S. military aid and security guarantees for Ukraine. European countries are generally concerned that the U.S. may take more aggressive unilateral actions in the future, which will not only affect Europe's security interests, but also weaken Europe's voice in international affairs. This year's Munich Security Conference is full of uncertainty, given the divergences between the U.S. and EU, divisions within the Trump administration over Ukraine policy, and the new foreign policy of the Trump administration.
