Responding to reports that US international partners had expressed concern about a potential shift in Washington’s strategy, Rubio said he saw no reason for such concerns.

“Foreign policy will be what it is. While obviously Congress has a role to play in our foreign policy, it is the administration of the executive branch that leads American foreign policy and, frankly, sets it,” Rubio told reporters.
