【White House infighting: Rubio and Witko have clear differences on Ukraine stance】NBC News reported that U.S. President's envoy Witko and Secretary of State Rubio have conflicting diplomatic stances on the Ukraine issue, and their relationship may determine the final outcome of the Ukraine conflict.
The report said that within the Trump administration, there were obvious differences between Secretary of State Rubio and President's envoy Witko regarding mediation efforts on the Ukraine issue. Witko frequently bypassed Rubio - flying to Geneva in advance for negotiations, arranging meetings on his own without coordination, and even when meeting with French President Macron in Paris, the Secretary of State had to "request permission" to join.
Rubio and the Department of State advocated maintaining strong pressure on Russia, while Witko pushed for a quick peace at the expense of some Ukrainian interests.
The differences were further exacerbated by security concerns. Some officials worried that Witko used non-encrypted communication channels such as WhatsApp, as well as private aircraft, making him an easy target for surveillance. The White House and Rubio denied any division, stating that the two were "close friends" and maintained full coordination. However, sources within the U.S. government and Europe believe this situation is unusual and could potentially pose a risk to the final outcome of the war.
It is reported that a proposal initially put forward by Witko that was more favorable to Russia has been significantly weakened after Rubio intervened. United States
