US EditionRubio Expected to Meet Russian Foreign Minister on Thursday
MALAYSIA, JUL 10 – The meeting is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts amid rising regional trade tensions, with eight of ASEAN's 10 members facing potential 25% US tariffs, officials said.
- On Thursday, in Kuala Lumpur, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio is scheduled to hold discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during the ASEAN Regional Forum.
- Rubio's visit to Asia is his first as secretary of state and follows recent U.S. tariffs announced against eight of ASEAN's ten members, complicating his diplomatic agenda.
- Rubio’s meetings aim to reaffirm U.S. commitment to a free and secure Indo-Pacific while balancing rising tensions from Russia’s escalating attacks on Ukraine and China’s regional assertiveness.
- Trump criticized Putin during a Tuesday cabinet meeting, saying he is “not treating human beings right” and deemed Putin’s peace overtures “meaningless,” while approving defensive weapons to Ukraine.
- The Rubio-Lavrov meeting may test U.S.-Russia relations amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine, tariff disputes in Southeast Asia, and China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific.
