Over the past few days, Marco Rubio has been at the forefront of several significant international developments. In a recent phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Rubio emphasized the importance of advancing a durable resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war, as part of preparations for a summit between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. However, the pre-meeting between Lavrov and Rubio has been indefinitely postponed due to disagreements over settling the Ukraine conflict, casting uncertainty over the summit's timeline.

Separately, Rubio has been involved in U.S. dealings with El Salvador. Reports suggest that during the Trump administration, Rubio allegedly pledged to transfer nine MS-13 leaders back to El Salvador as part of a broader deal. Some of these leaders were acting as informants for the U.S., and their return was seen as crucial to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's efforts to block investigations into alleged ties between his government and the gang. This move has raised concerns about the administration's approach to combating gangs and protecting informants.

Rubio is also leading the Trump administration's aggressive campaign against Venezuela, seeking the ouster of autocratic leader Nicolás Maduro. His dual role as Secretary of State and national security adviser has allowed him to execute policies quickly, reflecting his long-held stance against Maduro's regime.
