Trump Vs His Own Administration: ‘New Russia Sanctions..’ Rubio Says Sanctions Could Backfire Hard

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that imposing new sanctions on Russia could extend the Ukraine conflict by two more years. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Rubio emphasized the critical diplomatic window the US is currently navigating. While President Trump threatened new sanctions, Rubio stressed that Washington is uniquely positioned to broker talks between Kiev and Moscow. The next week is expected to be pivotal for determining whether negotiations can move forward, as both sides edge closer to—but not quite reaching—a potential breakthrough. #MarcoRubio #RussiaSanctions #UkraineWar #USDiplomacy #TrumpAdministration #Putin #Zelensky #Ceasefire #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraine #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #USPolitics #Moscow #Kiev #DiplomaticEfforts #ConflictResolution #UkraineNegotiations #GlobalNews #BreakingNews Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc
