Marco Rubio has been repeatedly humiliated after Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, went behind the secretary of state’s back to conduct crucial foreign-policy negotiations, according to a damning report.
State Department officials are growing increasingly irate at Witkoff for giving Rubio the runaround and failing to disclose his travel plans—including last-minute trips for high-stakes talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine—sources told NBC News.
Last month, Witkoff, a former real estate mogul and Trump golf buddy with no prior diplomatic experience before landing the envoy role, rushed to attend peace talks with Ukrainian officials in Geneva, Switzerland, in what was seen as a bid to arrive before Rubio, who had been scheduled to participate.
