Chapter 2: What does Secretary of State Marco Rubio say about U.S.-Europe relations?
But he says the U.S. and Europe should work together, not to rationalize a broken system, but to fix it.

Scientists from five European countries have established that Russia's opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, was poisoned in his Arctic penal colony two years ago by a deadly toxin found in the skin of poisoned dart frogs in South America.

Few really believe that one of President Putin's fiercest critics died of natural causes, but this claim is still extraordinary. Samples of a rare toxin, which occurs on the skin of a dart frog, but is not naturally found in Russia, were discovered in his body.
