AOC to Give Talk on Foreign Policy at the Munich Security Conference

Far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is scheduled to appear at the Munich Security Conference this weekend, where she will discuss U.S. foreign policy in two separate sessions.
The talks mark a high-profile opportunity for Ocasio-Cortez to showcase her approach to international affairs, a move that has sparked speculation about whether she is laying groundwork for a 2028 presidential bid. Critics and observers are asking: why is she focusing on global policy while representing a New York district?
According to reports from Just the News, the New York Democrat will take part in panels on the “rise of populism” and “the future of U.S. foreign policy.” Her team has emphasized that she aims to offer a perspective that differs from President Donald Trump’s approach. “It’s very important that they see the full spectrum of representation, leadership, and thought of the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez told NBC News.

Her foreign policy advisor, Matt Duss, told NBC that Ocasio-Cortez will provide a “working-class perspective” to the discussions, highlighting her connection to everyday Americans.
Skeptics, however, question which “working class” she represents, noting that the Democratic Party has shifted toward elite, progressive priorities. Sean Spicer suggested that her participation may be designed to generate talking points for future campaign speeches and debates.
If she enters the presidential race, which many believe is likely, media outlets are expected to give her significant attention, similar to the coverage President Barack Obama received during his early political rise.
