The publication indicates that there are fears in Europe that such a step signals a change in mood in Washington. Rubio was supposed to participate in a meeting with the leaders of Germany, Poland, Finland, and the European Commission on Friday afternoon, but canceled it "at the last minute," citing a conflict in his schedule.
According to an unnamed European official, this is "madness." As journalists note, this happened against the backdrop of the increasing distancing of US President Donald Trump's administration from European allies and attempts to push Ukraine into an agreement with Russia.
