“No one discussed it with me. No one at the meeting discussed it, not with me. Maybe they have discussed it among themselves, but it was not discussed in any of the meetings we had, neither last night nor today,” he bluntly shared when asked if the military operations in the Caribbean were discussed.
Later, Rubio denied that Europe can interfere in American politics.
“I don’t think the European Union can determine what international law is. They certainly can’t determine how the United States defends its national security. The United States is being attacked by criminal terrorist organizations in our hemisphere and the President [Trump] “He is responding in defense of our country,” he added.
Another topic that was avoided at the meeting was the tariffs imposed by the US on the rest of the world and which have caused tensions with its allies.
