US President Donald Trump may travel to the region if a deal ending the Gaza war is reached, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says.
“The president will have to make that decision, but I anticipate that he would be interested in doing so, if the timing could work,” Rubio tells reporters on Capitol Hill.
“Good progress has been made today. Events are moving in a good direction, but there’s still some work to be done,” the top US diplomat adds.
