Rubio: US 'not asking Europe to be a vassal'

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday the Trump administration welcomes Europe shaking its "dependence" on U.S. power, saying the United States is "not asking Europe to be a vassal."

"We're not asking Europe to be a vassal of the United States," Rubio said during a visit to Bratislava following his appearance at the Munich Security Conference. "We want to be your partner. We want to work with Europe. We want to work with our allies."
