U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in the Philippines, meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov amid renewed U.S. interest in mediating the Ukraine war — a role that’s waned but remains open. Rubio stressed the need for dialogue with Russia, given their nuclear status, while also seeking common ground on other global issues. He separately met with China’s Wang Yi and India’s External Affairs Minister, pushing back on China’s recent provocative actions, including a submarine missile test and a tense clash with Filipino forces in the South China Sea. As ASEAN ministers race to finalize a code of conduct with China by year’s end, Rubio’s trip underscores Washington’s dual focus: de-escalating Ukraine while managing rising tensions with Beijing in Asia’s most contested waters.
