Rubio Meets G7 on Ukraine, Middle East

0:00On March 24, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to France this Friday for a key meeting with Group of Seven Foreign Ministers. The talks will zero in on Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine and the tense situation in the Middle East. The Middle East discussion stemmed from President Trump's decision late last month to launch strikes on Iran alongside Israel. That move has rippled across the region, pulling in U.S. allies who are now managing the consequences. Iran hit back with attacks on its Gulf neighbors and key shipping routes, effectively halting most traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. This has disrupted global oil flows and heightened worries about energy prices worldwide. Rubio, serving as Trump's top diplomat and national security adviser, will join the gathering just outside Paris in Sernay, La Ville. Officials say the agenda also covers broader threats to global peace and stability. As these ministers hash out responses, the world watches closely for any coordinated steps to ease the pressures in Ukraine and the Middle East.
