I don't know her, have not talked to her, but I do know Senator Rubio, and I think he's extremely well prepared for the job by his service on the Foreign Relations Committee, on the Intelligence Committee, and he's deeply thoughtful about most of the things we have to confront.

We've tried to do everything possible to make sure that Ukraine could, if that's the decision it made to pursue a ceasefire, they could do it from a position of strength.
