At a press conference after the Group of Seven meeting in Paris, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said economic restrictions meant he saw no need to restart major U.S. combat operations against Iran.
Rubio called for European governments to join the process in Abu Dhabi. He described the U.S.-mediated discussions involving Russia and Ukraine as productive.
The Kyiv Independent reported Oct. 31 that Rubio said he could not assess whether Ukraine could reach a negotiated peace. EconoTimes previously covered Rubio’s earlier comments on a negotiated peace.
