The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that President Donald Trump's meeting with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15 is a pragmatic action aimed at determining and assessing positions. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to him, this meeting is a necessary step to directly understand reality and assess the quality and direction of the situation. As Rubio emphasized, since the previous phone conversations between the White House leader and Putin did not yield the expected results, Trump prefers to meet in person to assess the situation face-to-face.
Through the meeting, it is expected that uncertainties will be eliminated and the goals and interests of the parties will become clearer. The U.S. Secretary of State emphasized that this meeting is not about yielding, but rather about clarifying the positions of the parties and creating a basis for future decisions.
The meeting is not a political spectacle or a victory statement, but a constructive dialogue where specific questions and answers and comparisons of positions will take place. Rubio also opposed the opinions circulated in the media about a "victory for Putin," noting that this meeting is not about exiting political isolation, but rather about practical communication.
In the meeting, both sides will try to clearly present their positions and plan future actions. The U.S. Secretary of State highlighted that the parties will strive to quickly assess the situation and define the next steps.
In his opinion, it is important not to prolong the debate, reach a clear conclusion, and announce the results responsibly. For this reason, the meeting in Alaska is viewed as a process of "clarification and assessment," rather than "yielding."
