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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

“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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
