Secretary Of State Rubio To Testify Before Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to face a litany of questions about the Trump administration’s fragile and stalling diplomatic efforts around the world when he appears for back-to-back hearings on Capitol Hill for the first time since the Iran war began. The former Republican senator will sit before House and Senate committees on Tuesday to make the State Department’s annual budget request. But the focus is likely to shift quickly to the already unsteady ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, which has been further tested in recent days by back-and-forth attacks.
