The global rise of ¡°wrecking-ball politics¡± will be the focus of this week¡¯s Munich Security Conference, organizers said Monday, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expected to lead a large U.S. delegation.

More than 60 heads of state and government and around 100 foreign and defense ministers are due to participate in the security policy talks from Feb. 13 to 15.

The annual meeting in the southern German city was upended last year when U.S. Vice President JD Vance delivered a blistering attack on European democracy and EU immigration and free speech policies.
