In Ukraine Interview, Rubio Gives Master Class In Handling Foreign Affairs

Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out a common-sense approach to U.S. foreign policy by suggesting American diplomacy should work in American interests, and that when countries like Ukraine receive billions from U.S. taxpayers, it’s not too much to expect some “gratitude.”

In an interview with former CBS reporter Catherine Herridge published on X Thursday, Rubio outlined those interests by first reminding viewers that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s antagonism against the White House predates the Trump administration.

“Joe Biden had frustrations with Zelensky, people shouldn’t forget it,” Rubio said.

The State Department chief referenced reports that then-President Biden lost composure with the Ukrainian president because, rather than saying “thank you for all your help,” Zelensky “is immediately out there messaging what we’re not doing, or what he’s not getting.”

UKRAINE: Zelensky lied to Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio. Trump is now clear he would be an unreliable partner and is insisting on free and democratic elections in Ukraine. Zelensky cannot be trusted. Even Biden admits that.
