Isn't it amazing Marco Rubio is not ever mentioned when it comes to deal making?

POTUS Trump knows and Americans are learning Rubio is simply a speech reader, not a deal maker. Rubio's SoS title is simply a title, yet some on here see him as POTUS material.

I do believe the US must take control of KHARG Island and hold it until all US costs are recovered for this event that has changed the ME power dynamic.

quote:

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi signaled readiness to move toward a deal in a phone call with US envoy Steve Witkoff, Ynet reported.

Citing people familiar with the conversation, the report said Araghchi told US counterparts that Iran had approval from new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to “close the issue quickly” provided Tehran’s conditions were met.

It said the call, which also involved the other US envoys Jared Kushner, reflected ongoing contacts despite Iran’s public denial of negotiations after US President Donald Trump said he had had productive talks with Iran.

The report said gaps between the sides remained significant and added that Israel was not part of the talks and learned of them through other sources.


Iranian Foreign Minister is READY to DEAL!!

I’d prefer Rubio to the Witkoff/Kushner combo tbh.

What has that Gang of 8 graduate Rubio done since becoming SoS for the American people? I reckon you love what the Democrats loved, to a person, and voted for when approving his SoS nomination.

But he does not negotiate and certainly is not a leader. Like a waiter, Rubio takes orders and reads them to the kitchen.

Marco Rubio is probably busy handling Central and South America. No person can handle American diplomacy all over the world.

This country will not survive a Rubio presidency.

Being Venezuela is 7 miles from us, we received a lot of news regarding that situation and Rubio was all over it. He is also involved in Cuba from the get go.

Kushner put together the Abrahms Accord, of course he would take the lead. I would think the Arab world would be taken aback if you benched him and brought in Rubio.

He is doing an outstanding job.

Exactly. Rubio will simply spend this time "appearing" to care about the American people. He knows the mission of the Gang of 8 is being denied and deep down inside it is killing him.

He can not ever be a leader of people.

He certainly was doing a lot of reading. The MSM coddles him more softly than any democrat. I wonder why?

You obviously despise Rubio with a passion, as you have trashed him many times. That's certainly your right to do so, but you're not right about how President Trump feels about Rubio. Trump praises Rubio all the time.

This comment is laughable. Rubio is clearly one of the smarter people in the Trump Administration.

This simply isn't true. I've seen snippets of Rubio on various Sunday shows that were extremely contentious. And for someone you claim is only a "reader of speeches," Rubio has always handled himself very well.

Sunday shows, nothing but scripted drama. Have you noticed it is always the very same talking heads?

bullshite. If you work in the Trump Administration all of those interviews are non-stop "gotcha" sessions.

Sorry to blow up your false narrative about Rubio, but when you don't even acknowledge that he's very intelligent you lose all credibility when it comes to talking about him.

You are talking up Witkoff lol. At least Rubio knows what he’s doing. What has Witkoff done? Your criticism is that Rubio is a hawk?

Which of them were involved in negotiations that led to the current situation?

Witkoff is currently taking criticism from most of our gulf allies (not named Israel) for not knowing what he is talking about & butchering the last round of negotiations.

Kushner would have been a better argument. He’s partial to Netanyahu but at least has diplomatic achievements under his belt.

Rubio is a good SOS. Even if Havana is freed. At the moment i wouldn't vote for Rubio, Tucker, or Vance in a Presidential primary.

Tucker declared sharia law as superior. We all need to see how it all shakes out. But ATM i would support Tulsi.

Joe Kent playing Vindman and MTG in with code pink, Tucker sharia law...shows us that it is far too early to decide.

The democrats will impeach Trump and the GOP is sitting on their hands helping. Rubio protected Wolfe from a long jail time via protecting Warner and Burr, when he was gangof8.
