WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a surprisingly conciliatory speech at the Munich Security Conference, and European leaders gave addresses that responded to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s powerful Davos speech and the need for a stronger, more independent Europe.
To cut through the messaging and diplomatic fog, the National Post spoke with former CIA deputy director and acting director John McLaughlin — who was in Munich — for his inside take on allied perceptions of America’s global role, U.S.-Canada ties, and intel-sharing risks and opportunities. Today, McLaughlin is a professor of practice at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
