Magdalena Andersson, a member of the Social Democratic Party of Sweden, reacted to a speech delivered by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Munich Security Conference, stating that while his message was cooperative, there was no significant change in American politics to be observed. She expressed skepticism about the practical implications of Rubio's words, particularly regarding US foreign policy commitments. Andersson highlighted that the current US administration's messaging is inconsistent, raising caution about the possibility of naivety in interpreting such speeches.

Andersson also pointed out a specific contention in US foreign policy, calling attention to the ongoing demand for Denmark to relinquish Greenland, which she viewed as an indicator of the troubling trends in US policy under the leadership of figures like Trump. Her critique suggests that while cosmetic changes in rhetoric can be appealing, substantive action is necessary for tangible improvements in international relations and security initiatives.

Moreover, Andersson stressed the importance of Sweden and Europe bolstering both their civil and military capabilities to prepare for any shifts in US policy, particularly in light of potential economic dependencies. She warned that the unpredictable nature of current US leadership may necessitate a reevaluation of policies that relate to international collaboration and stability, particularly amidst rising tensions globally.
