Marco Rubio to Visit Europe and Middle East for Diplomatic Talks

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will embark on a diplomatic tour from February 13 to 18, visiting Germany, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, according to the State Department.

Rubio’s visit comes amid growing geopolitical tensions, with key discussions expected on security, trade, and regional stability. His first stop in Germany aligns with the Munich Security Conference, where global leaders will gather to address pressing security challenges. In Israel, Rubio is likely to reaffirm U.S. support and discuss ongoing regional conflicts.

His visits to Saudi Arabia and the UAE highlight Washington’s continued focus on Middle East relations, energy cooperation, and economic partnerships. With escalating conflicts and shifting alliances in the region, Rubio’s meetings with top officials are expected to cover defense collaborations, diplomatic efforts, and economic initiatives.

This high-level trip underscores the Biden administration’s commitment to strengthening ties with key allies in Europe and the Middle East.
