Rubio said he discussed such a meeting when he met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, telling Lavrov and Russian officials: «There isn't going to be a meeting until we know what the meeting is going to be about.»
«You don't generally have these meetings until you know some outcome or some progress has been made,» Rubio told journalist Catherine Herridge in an interview broadcast on X.
«So I think when that meeting happens will largely depend on whether we can make any progress on ending the war in Ukraine, and if we can, and that meeting is what seals the deal, I think everybody should celebrate that President Trump is a peacemaker,» he said.
