VAUX-DE-CERNAY, France: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in France meeting his Group of Seven foreign minister counterparts on Friday, after President Donald Trump attacked NATO countries over a reluctance or refusal to take part in the Iran war, a conflict that some of America’s closest allies have met with deep skepticism. Rubio will have a hard time trying to sell the other top diplomats from G7 countries on the US strategy for the Iran conflict, to which almost all nations have raised objections.

It is the secretary of state's first foreign trip since the conflict began last month.

French Minister of the Armed Forces Catherine Vautrin said Friday that the war “is not ours.”
