Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administrationā€™s approach to Russia.

Defending Trumpā€™s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didnā€™t know Russiaā€™s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trumpā€™s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trumpā€™s handling of Ukraine to Bidenā€™s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.
