Episode Details

Secretary of State Rubio says the U.S. is ready to help end Ukraine’s war but warns no easy fix exists, stressing diplomacy needs fresh ideas as he meets Russian and Chinese foreign ministers in Manila. He warns U.S.-China conflict could devastate the globe and says Iran is “begging” for talks but not ready to compromise. Rubio also reassures the world the U.S. isn’t neglecting other regions, citing strong daily engagement in Asia. Lavrov, avoiding reporters, insists Russia opposes further arming of Ukraine and accuses Europe of seeking its defeat, while Rubio insists new, mutually acceptable terms are essential. Talks also covered Middle East tensions and China’s South China Sea activities, with Australia voicing concern over destabilizing military moves China says are routine and properly notified.
