US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said severely on CNN after publishing material, in which journalists assumed that he was "in the shadow" of Special Representative of President Donald Trump - a billionaire Steve Witcoff.
The article states that Vitcoff, which is officially dealing with the Middle East, has greatly expanded its influence and now plays a key role in resolving international conflicts, including war in Ukraine. The material emphasizes that Trump's trust in Vitcoff is "100%", which allegedly reduces Rubio's influence as the country's main diplomat. The reaction of the Secretary of State did not slow down - it severely criticized CNN on the social network X (Twitter). Rubio also assured that he has excellent working relationship with Vitcoff and does not see a competitor in it. He even called Trump's special representative "one of the closest people in the White House team." In response to his statements, the X users did not slow down. Some noted that Rubio himself often spreads unconfirmed information about his opponents.
Recall that Vitcoff has recently become a key manager in the liberation of US hostages from Israel and Russia, as well as on the resolution of war in Ukraine. The influence of a billioner developer in politics continues to grow, which, according to CNN, has caused the stress between him and the US Secretary of State.
