Foreign Policy

A dispatch from the Munich Security Conference, where dark clouds hovered over the discussions on Europe’s security and recent events in Germany. The war in Ukraine dominated, with uncertainty about the U.S. role and Trump’s approach. Topics like climate change and AI also took center stage.
