USA: Marco Rubio to Attend Paris G7 Talks After Midterm Setback

Senator <b>Marco Rubio</b> will travel to Paris next week to join the Group of Seven (G7) ministers' meeting, marking his first overseas trip since the Republican Party suffered heavy losses in the US midterm elections. The White House confirmed the delegation will discuss climate change, global security and economic recovery, while Senate Republican leader <b>Mitch McConnell</b> praised Rubio's diplomatic experience. The G7 summit runs from June 10-12. Washington may be nursing its bruises, but the G7 will press ahead, forcing the United States to prove it still commands influence despite the midterm embarrassment.
