Rubio Spars With G-7 Diplomats Over Wars
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his Group of Seven counterparts traded barbs over the wars in Iran and Ukraine, casting doubt on Europe bowing to Donald Trump’s demand for military help in the Persian Gulf. The Europeans have rebuffed Trump’s bid for their navies to participate in opening the Strait of Hormuz, saying they’d help once the missiles have stopped flying. All the while, US bases in Europe have been key to the war effort and some European bases have provided logistical support. The US clarified its position in France, saying it isn’t asking allies for action now in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a person familiar with the conversations at the G-7. Former US Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor joins joins Christina Ruffini and David Gura on Bloomberg This Weekend to discuss. Watch the show LIVE every Saturday and Sunday morning.
