Secretary of State Marco Rubio fiercely defended President Trump’s technique to negotiating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia on Sunday, pronouncing the media and public could be praising his efforts if he have been a Democrat.
“Shouldn’t we all be happy that we have a president who’s trying to stop wars and prevent them instead of start them?” Rubio stated in an interview on ABC Information’s “This Week,” amid a demanding change with George Stephanopoulos over Trump’s peace-deal efforts.
“I just don’t get it. I really don’t, other than the fact that it’s Donald J. Trump,” he persisted.
“If this was a Democrat that was doing this, everyone would be saying, ‘Well, he’s on his way to the Nobel Peace Prize,’” Rubio added. “This is absurd.”
Rubio defended Trump’s method, which, as Rubio described it, is a departure from the 3 years of name-calling directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin and is as an alternative an effort to succeed in peace.
“We are trying to end a war,” he stated. “You cannot end a war unless both sides come to the table, starting with the Russians. And that, that is the point the president has made. And we have to do whatever we can to try to bring them to the table to see if it’s even possible.”
The interview comes after Trump and Vice President Vance blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an explosive Oval Administrative center assembly on Friday, after the overseas chief challenged Trump and Vance over Putin’s historical past of ignoring ceasefire agreements.
