The Spin
Left narrative
Rubio’s decision to cancel his meeting with Kallas, who flew to Washington specifically to discuss critical issues like transatlantic relations and Russia’s war in Ukraine, is both disrespectful and short-sighted. This snub undermines efforts to maintain a united front against Russian aggression. It also sends a troubling signal that the US does not value its European allies or their input on global security matters.
Right narrative
Rubio’s decision to cancel his meeting with Kallas is a necessary reminder that the US will not bend to the whims of European leaders who have made themselves dependent on American power while failing to defend their own interests. European leaders who have willingly surrendered their sovereignty under the expectation they will be forever protected by America — it's time these European elites learned their place in the new global landscape.
