The remarks closed out his attendance at the NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting in Brussels, his first NATO ministerial as Secretary.
Why it matters
Brussels was Rubio’s first NATO test: the alliance’s defense-spending demands and the administration’s terms for continued American engagement were the live questions, and this availability is where he answered them on the record at the end of the ministerial.
