Kingston: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted that the inclusion of a journalist in a group military group on air strikes was a “big mistake” and promised reforms to prevent him from reproducing.
“Obviously, someone made a mistake – someone made a big mistake – and added a journalist. Nothing against journalists, but you are not supposed to be on this thing,” said Rubio at a press conference in Jamaica, because the row dominated the headlines for a third day.
“I think there will be reforms and changes, so it’s never-so that will not happen again,” he said.
Rubio did not attribute the blame but quickly noted that he only participated twice in the cat – once to attribute a representative and later to congratulate American troops after a public announcement of the strikes in Yemen.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor -in -chief of the Atlantic, said that it was inadvertently added to the cat on the commercial application signal by Mike Waltz, the national security advisor, and that the defense secretary Pete Hegseth revealed strike plans through him.
Rubio repeated the statement of the Trump administration that “none of the information there has threatened the operation or the life of our soldiers”.
The messages, published by the Atlantic, showed a gap in the decision to strike the Houthi rebels, the vice-president JD Vance saying that the United States “proved” Europe, which is more affected by the disturbances of the insurgents to the Red Sea.
Hegseth, in the exchange, agreed that “European freeloading” was “pathetic”.
Asked his reaction as the first American diplomat, Rubio seemed to support strikes.
“I think that the point I would be worth is not, we will make someone pay or not. It is (that) everyone should recognize that we make the world a great favor pursuing these guys, because that cannot continue,” he said.
