March 27 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in Paris on Friday for a gathering of G7 foreign ministers where the war with Iran was expected to dominate the agenda.
Before departing Washington, Rubio said partners in the group of advanced economies -- which include Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada -- should "step up" and help secure the Strait of Hormuz because they had a great interest in doing so.
"Very little of our energy comes from the Strait of Hormuz. It's the world that has a great interest in that, so they should step up and deal with it," Rubio told reporters Thursday.
"There was a couple of leaders in Europe who said that this was not Europe's war. Well, Ukraine is not America's war, and yet we've contributed more to that fight than any other country in the world.
