Democrats Reassure Europe as Trump’s Policies Reshape Foreign Order
Democratic leaders at the Munich Security Conference are working to reassure European allies that the current shift toward American isolationism under President Donald Trump is a temporary phenomenon. High-profile figures including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the importance of maintaining international partnerships despite recent tensions over tariffs and foreign policy. Simultaneously, a Department of Homeland Security shutdown has forced TSA agents to work without pay, raising concerns about potential travel delays at major U.S. airports. While air traffic controllers remain funded through the Federal Aviation Administration, the lack of DHS appropriations highlights deepening political divisions in Washington over federal immigration operations and national security spending.
