News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a transatlantic alliance has to evolve, but also take a page from the past as he reassured allies of Washington's commitment to Europe today in Munich. Rubio elaborated on that speech in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg's editor-in-chief, John McElwaith.
The world has changed and the alliance has to change. But the fundamental thing that has to change is we have to remind ourselves of why it is we have an alliance in the first place. This is not just a military arrangement. This is not just some commercial arrangement. It is what holds us together in the first place as an alliance is our shared civilizational values.
Rubio also commented on Iran, Cuba and the Russia-Ukraine war. European allies met on the sidelines of the conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday ahead of more peace talks next week. Prime Minister Keir Starmer also spoke at the Munich Security Conference today and says Britain is no longer the country that voted for Brexit. He's vowed to build a closer relationship with the European Union now and bolster its ties with the U.S., a different tone from Canada and France, which both addressed their fractured relationships with the U.S. Here at home, a partial government shutdown is now in effect with Democrats refusing to fund homeland security without immigration reforms.
Oregon Congresswoman Andrea Salinas says some big sticking points are mask bans, body cams, and arrest warrants.
Trump is taking things off the table before he's accepting any provisions right now. And, you know, as was just mentioned, these warrantless arrests and searches are unconstitutional.
ICE isn't the only agency affected by this shutdown either. FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and Secret Service all fall under the Homeland Security umbrella. And there's no telling how long this shutdown could last. Congress is on break for the next week. Meantime, the Trump administration is moving ahead with a plan to remake the U.S. immigration detention system. Bloomberg's Amy Morris has more from Washington.
The Detention Reengineering Initiative is a $38.3 billion plan that calls for acquiring and renovating detention centers, adding processing sites, and taking control of existing facilities to create an efficient detention network. This new network will increase vet capacity by more than 92,000 and is expected to be fully implemented by November, funded through congressional allocations. under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. In Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.
Amazon's smart doorbell maker Ring has scrapped its partnership with police surveillance tech company Flock Safety.
What are the key points of Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference?
It follows backlash over a new function called Search Party that was featured in a 30-second Super Bowl ad. People said it reminded them of a dystopian society because it can share footage with law enforcement. Ring didn't mention the ad as a reason for the cancellation, but insists the integration never launched. Inflation has cooled, but prices at grocery store meat counters, especially for beef, keep skyrocketing. Beef costs have risen faster than most other items in the Consumer Price Index, with beef and veal up 15 percent over the past year. The reason? U.S. cattle herds are shrinking due to droughts and higher production costs. The shortages have even forced Tyson, Cargill and JBS to close beef plants with processing capacity expected to drop even further to match decreased supplies.
Experts say we can expect those shortages to continue until at least 2028. Bets are rising that interest rates will be falling soon, or at least declining a bit.
