US Senate
vote Marco Rubio was unanimously confirmed as Secretary of State on January 20th.
Some democratic senators who appear to have misunderstood Rubio with those who could hope to deny and overturn the president have experienced regrets about their votes, particularly in light of the persistent support of previous peers for President Donald Trump, due to their approach to Ukraine and its president.
President Trump and Vice President JD Vance made a fierce exchange with Ukrainian President Voldy Mie Zelensky in an oval office on Friday, resulting in the cancellation of the president's planned joint press conference and signing the proposed mineral trade.
Trump's Zelensky warnings directly and later
On social media – On his lack of gratitude, his display of disrespect to the US, and the dangers of possible peace negotiations – discovered It's widely used Resonating, the incident led some of Zelensky's solid supporters, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (Rs.C.), to question their support.
However, there have been many critics who have taken Umbreage with Trump's comments about Zelensky.
Senator Lisa Markovsky (R-Alaska) And several other Republican lawmakers joined Democrats, founding media experts and foreign officials to suggest that Trump's remarks against Zelensky and his desire to abandon and embrace Russia has been proven.
In the face of such criticism, Secretary of State Rubio defended the approach he took on Friday and Trump's proposal that Zelensky is openly undermining efforts to bring peace.
“I'm sorry.”
Rubio
I said A few hours after FRACAS, it is possible that Zelenskyy could have signed a few days ago – the real security guarantees of the fact that it was established after CNN's Kaitlan Collins that it was important to lead Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Negotiants table, and the understanding was established after Fracas. However, the Ukrainian president said, “We have ambushed Trump and Vance about how diplomacy doesn't work.
“President Zelensky took it that way, and as a result it ended with a predictable outcome,” Rubio said. “That's a shame. It wasn't supposed to be this way, but it's the path he chose and frankly, I think it will set back his country in terms of achieving the peace that President Trump wants at the end of the day.
Last week, Rubio, who defended Trump's criticism of “dictator” Zelensky, further suggested that Collins should apologise for adding that the Ukrainian president “turned this into a fiasco for him and he didn't need to go there and become hostile.”
Rubio later
repetition ABC News Talking Head George Stephanopuros, prior to Friday's meeting, understood that peace is a prerequisite for security assurances and that deterrent debate is pointless before negotiations.
“The question now is, 'Can I take you to the table for negotiations?” That's our goal. That's what Zelensky did. “When the Vice President says that the goal here is diplomacy, [Zelenskyy] Immediately jump in and challenge myself to become the Vice President. So, what kind of diplomacy? ”
“I'm really why everyone thinks it's a bad thing to try to become a Peacemaker. When Donald Trump is about to do that, when it's President Trump, that's absurd to me,” Rubio added.
“It's very different from what Senator Rubio was talking about.”
When CNN spoke about Dana Bash, whether he made the right choice to vote to confirm Rubio, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.)
I said“No. That was a mistake. That was a mistake.”
“I think a lot of us thought Marco Rubio would stand up to Donald Trump on issues like this,” Murphy continued. “When Donald Trump decides to do that, when Donald Trump comes to him and says, “Please help bring America closer to Russia and Russia's values,” Marco Rubio stands up to him. Marco Rubio is not.
Senator Chris Van Hollen (d-md.)
Express your regret publicly Beyond his Rubio vote for several weeks, I said “Fox News Sunday,” “As a Senator, Secretary Rubio was someone who stood up for American values, so I regret that vote.”
“He admitted that Russia is an invader against Ukraine. He realized that it was not Zelensky that was the dictator,” Van Hollen said. “And now he simply takes his direction from Elon Musk at the State Department and essentially parodies the president's position, which I understand, is very different from what Senator Rubio was talking about.”
