Rubio, in Greece, set to call for the West to restore founding democratic principles and values
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Athens on Wednesday to deliver a major speech near the Acropolis on the renewal of Western spirit and democratic values during his three-nation NATO tour.
- Ahead of the visit, about 1,500 protesters gathered in Athens to denounce U.S. involvement in Iran, chanting "American killers," while the Trump administration seeks to reassure NATO partners of its commitment to regional security and energy cooperation.
- Rubio faces questions regarding misconduct allegations against U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, who allegedly promoted a private company's interests and allowed its lobbyist into private diplomatic meetings, claims she has denied.
- Defending Guilfoyle, Rubio stated she "has been an incredible advocate for the president's agenda," and he and Trump greatly value her "pivotal work and leadership" on energy issues.
- These diplomatic efforts occur as Vance and Rubio emerge as leading contenders to assume Trump's mantle at the top of the Republican Party, which faces stiff challenges in next month's congressional midterm elections.
