U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in France to meet his Group of Seven counterparts after President Donald Trump attacked NATO over a reluctance or refusal to take part in the Iran war. Some of America’s closest and oldest allies have met the conflict with deep skepticism. Rubio will have a tough time Friday trying to sell the other top diplomats from G7 countries on the U.S. strategy for the Iran conflict, to which almost all nations have raised objections. Trump’s vitriolic comments about NATO during a Cabinet meeting Thursday will likely make the task even tougher. Most of those in the G7 are also members of the trans-Atlantic military alliance.
