US secretary of state Marco Rubio speaking at the Kennedy Center's leadership at the White House on Monday night (May 19) heaped praises on Donald Trump and stressed on the efforts the US president is putting to end wars and bring peace in the world.
Rubio, without taking names blamed some of the European countries of "constantly talking about war", while praising Trump, who "spends half his day, maybe more, trying to stop wars, end wars, prevent wars."
"You know we have an American president that wants peace and it's the some of the Europeans that are constantly talking about doing war stuff," he said.
"So it's kind of the world's upside down in their mind right now. It's usually the other way around. And uh it's a great honor to to work for a president who literally spends half his day, maybe more, trying to stop wars, end wars, prevent wars, and it's an extraordinary thing to be a part of. And and thank you for your leadership on that front," he further added.
