The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, was traveling this Sunday to Saudi Arabia to hold conversations with the Ukraine government, while President Donald Trump decides whether to revert the freezing of aid to this ally in times of war.
In addition, the State Department confirmed that Rubio will travel to the group of the seven (G7, which groups the main Western powers) in Canada, which makes him the greatest rank official to visit the country from the return to Trump’s White House, who launched a commercial war based on tariffs with his neighbor and has mocked his sovereignty.
In the conversations with the Ukrainians to be held from Monday to Wednesday in Yedá (Saudi Arabia), Rubio will discuss how to “advance the president’s goal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine,” said the spokeswoman for the State Department, Tammy Bruce, avoiding prior expressions to Trump referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
