Halal food counters are sprinkled amid the cathedral spires and beer halls. Nearly one of every three residents you meet in town is not German.It\u2019s a decent approximation of what many European cities, and European people, look like today. And a different Europe from the one the Trump administration says it wants to be friends with.Marco Rubio, the U.S. secretary of state, tried to soothe a year of friction between the United States and its trans-Atlantic allies on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference. His speech there reiterated America\u2019s commitment to Europe but wrapped it in historical and cultural ties that seemingly exclude large sections of the current European population.\u201cWe are part of one civilization: Western civilization,\u201d Mr. Rubio told a crowd of anxious diplomats in Munich. \u201cWe are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe United States and Europe are indeed pillars of what historians refer to as Western Civilization, which has roots typically traced to ancient Greece.Their modern relationship \u2014 and the bonds Mr. Rubio said held it together \u2014 has been changed by demographic trends, including new arrivals and rising secularization.Want to stay updated on what\u2019s happening in France and Germany?

About half of the European Union now speaks English as a foreign language, a share that rises to 70 percent for young Europeans.Christianity is declining across much of the continent. In Europe\u2019s three largest economies \u2014 Britain, France and Germany \u2014 less than half of residents now identify as Christian, according to survey data by Bertelsmann Stiftung, a nonpartisan foundation. The ranks of the religiously unaffiliated are growing, according to data by the Pew Research Center and others.After a decade-long influx of migrants from the Middle East and elsewhere, the share of Muslims across Europe has ticked up, to about 6 percent in 2020, according to Pew. The Jewish population has declined slightly and remains below 1 percent.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTIn his speech, Mr. Rubio called widespread immigration a crisis for the continent and urged Europeans to change course, though the flow of immigrants to Germany and other European countries has slowed in recent years.ImageLeipzig and other German cities have large immigrant populations.Credit...Laetitia Vancon for The New York TimesCountries across Europe have struggled with questions of migration, culture and heritage in recent years. But many European leaders reject Mr. Rubio\u2019s assertion \u2014 echoing President Trump and Vice President JD Vance \u2014 that mass migration \u201cthreatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture and the future of our people.\u201d\u201cGermany\u2019s experience shows that migration is a strength, not a weakness,\u201d Reem Alabali Radovan, Germany\u2019s minister for economic cooperation and development, told me in response to a question about Mr. Rubio\u2019s speech.Trump Administration: Live UpdatesUpdated\u00a0Feb. 15, 2026, 12:47 p.m. ETFeb. 15, 2026Scars remain after Trump\u2019s Greenland threat, lawmakers say.In his first public comments since Trump\u2019s racist video, Obama laments lost decorum.T.S.A. workers brace for another shutdown they didn\u2019t cause.\u201cPeople contribute to our society and economy regardless of their background,\u201d she said. \u201cGermany is a country of immigration, and our future prosperity depends on openness, opportunity and integration.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTFriedrich Merz, the German chancellor, a center-right politician who has tightened migration restrictions, leveled his own sort of critique of American values in Munich.Despite their moves to restrict migration, Mr. Merz and similar leaders across Europe have shown little appetite for the type of mass deportation campaigns favored by Mr. Trump. In a Friday speech to the security conference, Mr. Merz declared that \u201cthe culture war of the MAGA movement is not ours.\u201dA few hours after Mr. Rubio spoke in Munich, I climbed a back staircase to meet with Ms. Alabali Radovan, a member of the center-left Social Democrats, the junior partners in Germany\u2019s centrist governing coalition.Like Mr. Rubio, she is a child of immigrants. Her parents are Iraqi and were studying in Russia when she was born. They fled Saddam Hussein\u2019s Iraq and were granted German asylum in the mid-1990s. In Munich, Ms. Alabali Radovan talked about her efforts to better help impoverished countries at a time when the Trump administration has cut back international aid sharply.Ms. Alabali Radovan said she worried about fraying solidarity \u2014 not just across the Atlantic, but globally \u2014 as countries prioritize national interests over cooperation. It was effectively a vision of international bonding to rival Mr. Rubio\u2019s.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cThe challenges that we\u2019re facing don\u2019t know borders, like the climate crisis, like hunger, poverty, social injustice, like more authoritarians than democracies in the world right now,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have to face them together.\u201dOn Saturday night, after the speeches, an overflow crowd filled Munich\u2019s famed Hofbr\u00e4uhaus. It was a multiethnic mix: partly European and American conference attendees, and partly groups of protesters who filled the city earlier in the day to demand freedom in Iran.Beer flowed into liter glasses. A polka band played. Diners broke out in songs and shouts. Some called for regime change. Some called for more beer.At times, it was hard to tell them apart.Jim Tankersley is the Berlin bureau chief for The Times, leading coverage of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 16, 2026, Section A, Page 5 of the New York edition with the headline: Squaring Rubio\u2019s Europe With the Actual Europe.
