Kingston:
The Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, said Wednesday that the inclusion of a journalist in the group chat about military strikes was a “big mistake” and expected reforms, while highlighting his own limited role.
“Obviously, someone made a mistake, someone made a big mistake, and added a journalist. Nothing against journalists, but it is not supposed to be in that thing,” Rubio said at a press conference in Jamaica.
“I think there will be reforms and changes made, so this will never happen again,” he said.
Rubio did not assign the fault, but he quickly pointed out that he only participated twice in the chat, once to assign a representative and later after the United States government publicly announced the strikes in Yemen.
Jeffrey Goldberg, a chief editor of the Atlantic, said he was inadvertently added to the chat in the commercial application signal of Mike Waltz, the national security advisor, and that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed the strike plans through him.
