Marco Rubio on Imposing More Sanctions on Russia: The Minute Trump Takes Those Steps, ‘All Talks Stop’
RUSH EXCERPT:
RUBIO: "First, I think that’s something that a lot of people go around saying that I don’t necessarily think is true. I don’t think new sanctions on Russia will force them to accept the ceasefire. They’re already under severe sanctions. You can argue that could be a consequence of refusing to agree to a ceasefire or the end of hostility, but there’s no evidence that there are more sanctions because sanctions take months and sometimes years to bite and we may wind up in that place and I hope not because that means peace talks fail, but we have to give every opportunity for peace a chance in this particular case and those options remain to the president. The minute he takes those steps all talks stop. There is no one left in the world to go talk to the Russians and try to get them to the table to reach a peace agreement. So that moment may come. I hope not because I hope we get a peace deal."
