Rubio engaged with reporters with a smile, calling on members of the press by the color of their clothing and singling out an Italian journalist he recognized

During Tuesday’s briefing, Rubio fielded questions for more than 50 minutes, focusing largely on foreign policy issues including the Iran conflict, Trump’s planned trip to China, his upcoming meeting with the Vatican, and U.S. policy toward Latin America, particularly Venezuela and Cuba.

Trump has said Rubio is “totally involved” in negotiations with Iran, even as he has limited Rubio’s direct participation in some meetings with Iranian officials

LindellTV is produced by Mike Lindell and Steve Bannon. “No they’re not mean. I don’t think they are, I hope not,” she responded.

The State Department has not held an on-camera briefing since August, though Rubio has taken questions from reporters in other settings. He last briefed State Department reporters in December, answering questions from across the press corps and continuing to engage with the traveling pool. May 1 marked Rubio’s first anniversary as national security adviser, making him the first person to hold both that role and secretary of state simultaneously since Henry Kissinger during the Richard Nixon administration.

On Iran, Rubio echoed Trump’s earlier claim that the War Powers Act is “unconstitutional.” The Vietnam-era law requires presidents to seek congressional approval within 60 days of initiating military operations, but nearly all presidents since the law was passed in 1973 have considered it an unlawful infringement on their roles as commander-in-chief.

He also checked in with Cara Castronuova of LindellTV, asking whether other reporters were being “mean” to her after laughter broke out in the room when she posed a question

He added that the administration is entering a “new phase” focused on freeing ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, where vessels have been blocked by Iran from exiting.

Is Europe Ready for War? Why Brussels Is Racing Against TimeAfter Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, rising pressure from the United States, and increasingly blunt warnings from military leaders, the European Union is being forced to confront a reality that once seemed unthinkable: its own defence readiness.For years, Europe relied on diplomacy, economic integration, and transatlantic security guarantees to maintain stability. Today, that confidence is fading. With the war in Ukraine showing no clear end, trust eroding between allies, and warnings of future escalation growing louder, the EU is moving—quickly—to shore up its military, industrial, and strategic foundations.A Continent Under Pressure

The sense of urgency did not emerge overnight. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shattered long-standing assumptions about security on the European continent. At the same time, political signals from Washington have grown increasingly clear: Europe must take greater responsibility for its own defence.

European leaders now find themselves caught between two imperatives—deterring future aggression while maintaining unity at home. EU leaders agreed last December on a new €90 billion loan package to support Ukraine. Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a series of defence initiatives aimed at strengthening Europe’s deterrence capacity by 2030.

These moves come amid stark rhetoric. On 2 December, Vladimir Putin stated that Russia was prepared to fight if necessary and warned there would be “no one left to negotiate with. ”

Around the same time, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte issued a blunt assessment: “We are Russia’s next target.” He warned that an attack on NATO territory could occur within the next five years

Around the same time, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte issued a blunt assessment: “We are Russia’s next target. ” He warned that an attack on NATO territory could occur within the next five years. Germany’s defence minister Boris Pistorius echoed these concerns, stating that Europe may have already experienced its “last summer of peace.

” The message from Europe’s security establishment is increasingly consistent: the risk is no longer theoretical.
