U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the importance of mutual benefit within NATO partnerships during remarks made Friday before alliance discussions in Helsingborg, Sweden.
Speaking ahead of the NATO gathering, Rubio indicated the Swedish meeting would help establish the foundation for the upcoming NATO leaders summit planned for Ankara, Turkey later this year.
“Like any alliance, it has to be good for everyone who’s involved. There has to be a clear understanding of what the expectations are,” Rubio said.
The Secretary of State also addressed Middle East tensions, stating that any Iranian tolling system implemented in the Strait of Hormuz would not be acceptable.
