Story summary

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Paris from November 8 to 10 for a meeting of Group of Seven foreign ministers, the State Department announced on Friday. This is Rubio's first trip since Republicans suffered significant losses in the recent midterm elections, which may affect the Trump administration's foreign policy. The G7 meeting, originally scheduled for Marseille, was moved to Paris due to nationwide protests. During his visit, Rubio will meet with foreign ministers from Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan to advance American interests. On Thursday, Rubio dismissed rumors about leaving the administration soon to run for president in 2028, stating that he plans to work until the end of Trump's term.
