Rubio Asserts America-First Strategy Before G7 Meetings on Iran War

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is traveling to Europe to seek international support for the war against Iran. Before the G7 summit, Rubio emphasized that his primary duty is to the people of the United States rather than foreign governments. This stance was supported by statements clarifying that the administration reports to the American public instead of the broader international community. Rubio faces a difficult task as he tries to sell the war strategy to skeptical diplomats in France. The trip is a key effort to garner support for the administration's military goals despite ongoing tensions with traditional allies.
