 This week, Secretary Rubio met with Margaret Brennan of CBS's Face the Nation to discuss the U.S. campaign to secure Red Sea shipping lanes, vowing to end Houthi attacks — a threat to American prosperity. He also addressed concerns over visa revocations, explaining that anyone promoting terrorism or engaging in harmful activities while in the U.S. will be expelled.
On Fox News Radio with Guy Benson, the Secretary detailed further that the Houthis have attacked U.S. vessels over 174 times in the past 18 months. He also highlighted Iran's role in arming and supporting the Houthis, calling for accountability from Tehran.
In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, the U.S.-China relationship took center stage, with the Secretary noting that what happens between the two countries will write "the story of the 21st century."
