We want to do it together with you, with a Europe that is proud of its heritage and of its history.

With a Europe that has the spirit of creation and liberty that sent ships out into unchartered seas and birthed our civilization.

With a Europe that has the means to defend itself and the will to survive.

We should be proud of what we achieved together in the last century.

But now we must confront and embrace the opportunities of a new one.

Because yesterday is over.

The future is inevitable and our destiny together awaits.

When we come off as urgent or even critical about decisions that Europe has failed to make or made, it is because we care.

It is because we understand that ultimately our own fate will be intertwined with what happens with Europe.

We want Europe to survive.

We want Europe to prosper because we're interconnected in so many different ways and because our alliance is so critical.

But it has to be an alliance of allies that are capable and willing.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico says he's ready to host any future peace negotiations.

He blamed Europe for prolonging the war by supplying weapons to Ukraine and did not criticize Russia at all during his news conference with Secretary of State Rubio, who thanked him for his insights on Ukraine.

Vito praised Rubio's boss, President Trump, as a, quote, very pragmatic and rational leader, once again dismissing reports that he told some EU leaders that he was worried about Trump's mental state during a visit in Florida last month.
