Rubio called the Russia-US Alaska summit a preparatory meeting!

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio described the upcoming Alaska summit as a preparatory meeting between Russian President Putin and U.S. President, and he believes it is necessary for the U.S. leader to assess the situation.

"Frankly, I think this will be an interview, after the president has talked to Putin several times, he feels that he needs to look this guy in the eye at the negotiating table, he needs to face-to-face evaluate him."

Rubio refuted criticism that the meeting itself was a concession to Russia: "For the president, the meeting is not a concession, he looks different, the meeting is what you do to understand the situation and make a decision."
