Marco Rubio: “The United States expects to conclude deals worth billions of dollars following my visit to Central Asia.”

We see nothing good coming from this war.

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

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