U.S. Department of State announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel this week to Canada and Saudi Arabia.
In a separate context, U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed that his special advisor, Elon Musk, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have a "great relationship," following a report by The New York Times that suggested the two had "clashed" during a Cabinet meeting last Thursday.
In remarks reported by CNN today, Trump stated, "Elon and Marco have a great relationship… Any statement to the contrary is fake news!"
This statement follows similar remarks made by Trump last Friday in the Oval Office, where he emphasized that "Elon is working great with Marco, and both of them are doing a fantastic job. There is no conflict or disagreement between them."
