Senator Rubio: “Well, I think he has a history now of miscalculation and misjudgment, or quite frankly of just refusing to accept the facts of what’s happening. They’re always more interested in the domestic political spin, and getting credit domestically for something, than they are in the truth about it.

It is personal, it’s absurd, and quite frankly it’s dangerous. It puts in danger a very important strategic relationship to the United States, not to mention a nation that’s been a strong American ally.”
