What happened
While hosting the G20 foreign ministers' meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that India and Turkey proposed ideas for vessels to carry grain through the Black Sea amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Rubio also noted that passage through the Strait of Hormuz is more challenging, despite President Donald Trump's calls for regional cooperation. He added that the United States has primarily borne the responsibility for protecting shipping in that region.
