Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended President Donald Trump’s push for a Ukraine-Russia peace deal, arguing that the media would celebrate his efforts if he were a Democrat.
“Shouldn’t we all be happy that we have a president who’s trying to stop wars instead of start them?” Rubio said in a tense exchange on ABC’s “This Week”. He criticized negative coverage of Trump’s negotiations, adding, “If this was a Democrat, everyone would be saying, ‘Well, he’s on his way to the Nobel Peace Prize.’”
Rubio justified Trump’s shift in approach toward Vladimir Putin, calling it a necessary step to bring Russia to the negotiating table. “You cannot end a war unless both sides come to the table, starting with the Russians,” he said.
The interview follows Trump’s explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance clashed with Zelensky over Putin’s history of breaking ceasefire agreements.
