Marco Rubio: “The ball is in Russia’s court”

What we want to accomplish at this meeting this week will put our countries further down the path of long-term prosperity and security.

We want to see this region continue to thrive into the 21st century as a hub of commercial diplomacy, because it is in our interest – because it is our interest from both an economic standpoint and from a security standpoint as well.

We just want fair competition and an opportunity.

We want to do more. This is not the end. This is the beginning.
