TL;DR
Rubio Says Neither US, China Want Asia Destabilized Over Taiwan Marco Rubio has argued the US is in a “very fortunate” position as fuel prices continue to climb nationwide amid disruption sparked by the US-Israel war on Iran. Other countries were suffering “big time”, Rubio replied. The US was “very fortunate” as a net exporter of oil, which is not as reliant as other countries on oil from the Middle East, he said.
