Rubio calls for "unapologetic pursuit of national power" in Acropolis speech

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stood before the Acropolis to argue that the answer to the West's current problems can be found, at least in part, in ancient Greece.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets lead on Rubio’s Athens speech and frame it around democracy and the setting near the Acropolis or Pnyx. The Hill is the only one to spell out the expected message about Western nations returning to their “civilizational roots” and to mention reassurance of uneasy European allies. PBS NewsHour only presents it as a live speech in the “cradle of democracy.”
