The Trump administration has made overtures to a country that Rubio has railed against during most of his career, especially in relation to Russia's backing of countries like Cuba.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio pushed back on critics of President Donald Trump's approach to ending the war in Ukraine on Sunday, saying the president is a "peacemaker." Rubio made the comments during an appearance on ABC News' "This Week," telling host George Stephenopoulos that Trump is facing attacks simply because he is Trump.
In a recent interview, America's top diplomat weighed in on Taiwan, COVID-19, and a range of other issues sensitive to Beijing.
Rubio spoke with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on Friday and said President Donald Trump wanted to end the Russia-Ukraine war as soon as possible
