Rubio meets Lavrov in Kuala Lumpur amid escalating Ukraine tensions and trade threats at ASEAN talks.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has met with Russia’s Sergei Lavrov in Kuala Lumpur, as tensions spiral over Ukraine and global trade.
The high-stakes talks happened on the sidelines of ASEAN, just days after Russia’s latest missile attacks and Trump’s new tariff threats on more than 20 nations.
Rubio said the US is still committed to ending the war in Ukraine, a top pledge of President Trump, who claims he’ll stop the conflict once in office.
