US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy will not change despite the Republican Party’s defeat in the midterm elections.
Globalinfo.az reports, citing APA, that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this to journalists in Paris after a meeting of foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) countries.
He said Washington will continue its efforts to end the wars in Iran and between Russia and Ukraine through diplomacy.
According to Rubio, the decisive say in shaping foreign policy belongs to the president, not Congress.
“Congress has a role in our foreign policy, particularly in its funding and oversight function. But the number one factor in shaping foreign policy has always been the president, and so it will remain,” he said.
The secretary of state noted that Trump intends to end the war with Iran, as well as the war between Russia and Ukraine. At the same time, the United States will base its conduct in the international arena on the principle of “America first.”
