Rubio plans travel to France to sell Iran war to skeptical G7 allies

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to France this week to try to sell America's skeptical Group of Seven allies on the strategy of the Iran war that has sent global fuel prices soaring, the State Department said Tuesday.

 

Rubio will attend a G7 foreign ministers meeting near Versailles outside of Paris on Friday "to advance key U.S. interests" and "discuss shared security concerns and opportunities for cooperation," the department said.

 

"Areas of focus will include the Russia-Ukraine war, the situation in the Middle East, and threats across the world to peace and stability," the department said in a statement released amid conflicting accounts over whether the U.S. and Iran are talking about a resolution to the conflict.

North Carolina senator loses reelection in massive upset by 23 votes

North Carolina’s political landscape has been dramatically reshaped following the concession of Republican state Senate leader Phil Berger, the state’s most influential politician, in his primary race.

 

Berger, a long-standing conservative architect, conceded to Sam Page on Tuesday, an outcome that will likely end his preeminence and shake the power structure in the ninth-largest state.

Berger had trailed Page, the Rockingham County sheriff, by a mere 23 votes in their March 3 primary. He has served as Senate leader since 2011, a period marking the first time Republicans gained full control of the General Assembly in 140 years.

 

Donald Trump had endorsed Berger for reelection, commending his policy accomplishments. This endorsement came weeks after the legislature redrew the state’s U.S. House district map, an effort to flip a Democratic seat as part of Trump’s redistricting campaign aimed at retaining GOP control of the U.S. House in this year’s midterm elections.

 

"While this was a close race, the voters have spoken, and I congratulate Sheriff Page on his victory," Berger stated in a news release. "Over the past 15 years, Republicans in the General Assembly have fundamentally redefined our state’s outlook and reputation. It has been an honor."
