Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly pushed back firmly against Democratic senators during a recent Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. According to The Sun, he flatly denied claims that he had skipped important Iran peace negotiations in Pakistan to attend a party with President Donald Trump.
The hearing focused on the State Department’s budget request for the 2027 fiscal year, per The Sun. It soon appeared to turn into a series of heated exchanges as Rubio defended the current administration’s foreign policy.
