At the Munich Security Conference, a gathering of global leaders and politicians, Republicans and Democrats have united to condemn Donald Trump's attacks on allies. The criticism was led by American politicians who criticized Trump's tariffs and unpredictability. Several Republican officials were seen speaking out against Trump, breaking with tradition that US delegates refrain from criticizing the president abroad. Democratic politicians, including Governor Gavin Newsom of California and Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, also spoke out against Trump, with Newsom calling him "the most destructive president in US history." The criticism was a departure from the usual deference shown to the US president at international gatherings.
