At the Munich Security Conference, the main issue for everyone, including the US delegation, will be Russia's war against Ukraine, states US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an interview with SiriusXM Patriot.
“People from all – leaders from all over the world go that conference. But the top of mind for everyone is going to be war in Ukraine, and the President has been very clear. President Trump has been clear that the war in Ukraine needs to end,” Rubio said.
He noted that Trump intends to move forward on this issue to bring the war in Ukraine to an end.
“It’d be in the interest of everybody for that war to end, and so obviously we’ll be discussing that with foreign ministers and other leaders there,” the US Secretary of State emphasized.
According to him, another important topic of discussion at the Munich Conference will be opportunities for resolving issues in the Middle East.
