US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is embarking on a significant diplomatic mission to Eastern Europe, focusing on strengthening ties with Slovakia and Hungary, countries with leaders who have maintained close relations with former President Donald Trump. According to The Frontier Post, Rubio's visit aims to discuss energy cooperation and NATO commitments, amidst Slovakia and Hungary's controversial ties with Moscow and their reluctance to fully align with EU sanctions on Russia. Rubio's trip follows his participation in the Munich Security Conference, where he emphasized the importance of the US-Europe alliance, despite ongoing tensions. He is scheduled to meet with Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, who is facing a challenging re-election campaign, and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who has been critical of EU policies.
