Who Wrote the Talk That Secretary Rubio Gave at the Munich Security Conference

Marco Rubio, as U.S. Secretary of State, delivered the talk (a keynote speech/remarks) at the Munich Security Conference on February 14, 2026. Multiple sources, including the official U.S. Department of State transcript and video releases, attribute the speech directly to him as the speaker and presenter.

There is no public information indicating it was written by a ghostwriter or specific speechwriter. High-level officials like Secretaries of State often collaborate with staff on drafts, but Rubio is noted in some contexts (including prior speeches and X discussions around this event) as someone who writes or heavily contributes to his own material. Coverage describes it as his remarks, with phrases like "Rubio said" or "Secretary Rubio addressed," and the State Department publishes it under his name without crediting another author.

The speech emphasized shared U.S.-European civilizational roots (famously calling the U.S. a "child of Europe"), critiqued European policies on migration and other issues, urged transatlantic renewal under Trump administration priorities, and received applause and a standing ovation—contrasting with the prior year's more contentious address by VP JD Vance.

If you're referring to a rumored or specific claim about authorship (e.g., from social media speculation), no credible reports confirm anyone else as the writer.

Secretary Rubio, Munich Security Conference, 13 February 2026



The Conservative Treehouse

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a very important speech at the Munich Security Conference.

Within his remarks Rubio is telling Europe that we want to remain allied in our interests, but we are no longer going to allow the system of “globalism” to destroy our uniquely American life.

The United States is separating from the madness; this is not up for debate. The only question is whether Europe is too far gone, or whether they will join us.

Transcript here.

… economically, not just militarily. We are connected spiritually, and we are connected culturally.

We want Europe to be strong. We believe that Europe must survive, because the two great wars of the last century serve as history’s constant reminder. Ultimately, our destiny is—and will always be—intertwined with yours.

And I am here today to make it clear that America is charting the path toward a new century of prosperity—and that, once again, we want to do it together with you, our cherished allies and our oldest friends.
