There would need to be a real breakthrough on the war in Ukraine very soon or U.S. President Donald Trump is going to have to decide how much more time to dedicate to the matter, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News on Thursday (May 1), Reuters reports.
"I think we know where Ukraine is, and we know where Russia is right now... They're closer, but they're still far apart," he added during an interview on Fox News' Hannity program.
Also, Rubio said Iran should not be afraid of nuclear inspections, including by Americans, amid diplomatic efforts between the two countries over Iran's nuclear program. A fourth round of talks between the two nations, which had been due to take place in Rome on Saturday, has been postponed and a new date will be set "depending on the U.S. approach," a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Thursday.
Rubio also talked about China, saying China wants to meet and talk on trade and discussions will come up soon. "Our Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is involved in those efforts, and their talks will come up soon," he said, adding that there was a question about how much the United States should buy from China going forward.
