Secretary of State Marco Rubio:
“The straits need to be open. They’re going to be open one way or the other. So they need to be open. What’s happening there is unlawful, it’s illegal, it’s unsustainable for the world, it’s unacceptable.”
“I don’t know of any country in the world that’s in favor of a tolling system. The Russians are not in favor of a tolling system, the Chinese are not in favor of a tolling system. I mean, there’s no country in the world that’s in favor of a tolling system except the regime in Iran. So that’s not acceptable. That cannot happen.”
