During multiple press interviews on Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio touted alleged progress at President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while offering few specifics to back up his claims.

Marco Rubio described Trump as a “President who hates war” and sees it as “a waste of money and lives.” He pointed out that Trump has already mediated six agreements in the past six months and wants to achieve the same with Ukraine and Russia.
