Sec. Rubio Visits the G7
Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to France to sell the Iran war to skeptical G7 allies. Bernie Bennett has details.
VERBATIM:
He’ll attend a Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting near Versailles outside of Paris on Friday “to advance key U.S. interests” and “discuss shared security concerns and opportunities for cooperation.”
The State Department said, “Areas of focus will include the Russia-Ukraine war, the situation in the Middle East, and threats across the world to peace and stability.”
Nearly all of the other G7 nations – Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan – have reacted coolly at best to the U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran and have declined to participate.
Bernie Bennett, Washington.
