The State Department said a week ago that it had “credible reports” Hamas could violate the ceasefire with an attack on Palestinian civilians in Gaza. “We put out a message through State Department, sent it to our mediators as well, about an impending attack, and it didn’t happen,” he told reporters en route from Israel to Qatar, where he met up with President Donald Trump for aThe U.S. could call for a U.N. resolution supporting the force so more nations can take part, he said, adding that the U.S. has been talking with Qatar, Egypt and Turkey and noting interest from Indonesia and Azerbaijan. “Many of the countries who want to be a part of it can’t do it without that,” he said of an international mandate.

And he again accused Maduro’s government of allowing and participating in the shipment of narcotics. “This is a very serious problem for the hemisphere, and a very destabilizing one,” Rubio said. “And that has to be addressed.” He says other countries in the region, including Ecuador, Mexico, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, cooperate in combating drug trafficking.Rubio said it was important for the U.S. to remain engaged with China but that Taiwan would not become a bargaining chip for the world’s largest economies to reach a larger trade agreement.in South Korea in the coming days during his Asia trip. Beijing claims sovereignty over the self-governed island and vows to seize it by force if necessary. The United States is obligated by its own laws to give military support to Taiwan. “If what people are worried about is we’re going to get some trade deal or we’re going to get favorable treatment on trade in exchange for walking away from Taiwan — no one is contemplating that,” Rubio said.Whitehurst covers the Supreme Court and legal affairs for The Associated Press.
