Rubio Will Venture to France on First Post-Midterm Foreign Trip to Face Questions on Trump Policies
Rubio will press U.S. priorities with allies as the meeting opens after Republicans’ sweeping midterm losses raised questions about Trump’s foreign policy.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Paris from November 8 to 10 for a Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting, the State Department announced Friday. Rubio will "advance American interests in engagements with his G7 counterparts."
- This trip follows Republican losses in Tuesday's midterm elections and a recent G20 gathering in Atlanta that Rubio hosted. The G7, comprising industrialized democracies like Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, addresses unresolved global crises.
- Agenda items for the G7 meeting include Iran, the Russia-Ukraine war, and freedom of navigation within the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. The French invited Ukraine and other partners to participate in discussions on energy and food security.
- Tensions persist regarding Trump's trade policies, defense spending, and opposition to the International Criminal Court. The European Union is considering a "blocking statute" to protect its institutions from United States secondary sanctions, a move the administration labels hostile.
- Despite reports of a potential presidential run, Rubio told the New York Times that working for Trump remains "always been my plan." The French indicated this meeting, like the Atlanta summit, will not produce a joint communique.
