Sec. Rubio: Nations Need Not Abandon Their Distinct Identities, to Recognize Their Common Interests, We Must Rebuild Our Institutions Together

EXCERPT:

RUBIO: "There is new competition between great powers again. There is vulnerability, aggression, terrorism, a whole universe of new threats and attacks again. And so, we must rebuild our institutions and our alliances to face these threats together, understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them; it is to defend them. And that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests.”
