U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet his Russian counterpart in Malaysia for what could be a testy conversation as tensions between the countries rise over Moscow’s increasing attacks on Ukra

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday met with his Chinese counterpart on the sidelines of a major Asian conference in Malaysia as President Trump’s tariffs roil U.S. partners in Asia. Rubio described his conversation with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi as “constructive and pragmatic” and emphasized the importance of keeping channels of communication open.
