Marco Rubio challenges Trump’s Ukraine policy in rare White House split
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly sought to influence President Donald Trump’s stance on Ukraine. According to media outlet Semafor, Rubio pushed back against a plan involving Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The move highlights a rare division between the White House and its usual alignment with presidential policy.
Sources close to Semafor noted that Rubio’s attempt to shape Ukraine policy was consistent with his past behaviour. However, such a step was seen as unusual for the White House, where decisions typically follow the president’s lead rather than challenge it.
The incident reveals a rare moment of internal disagreement over foreign policy. Rubio’s position contrasts with Trump’s usual stance on Russia, raising questions about future decisions on Ukraine. The outcome of this clash remains uncertain.
