Rubio, German FM discuss Hormuz and NATO ‘burden shifting’

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio (R) and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (L)

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul met in Washington to coordinate on global security and NATO reforms. They reaffirmed support for safe Hormuz transit, preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and achieving “durable peace” between Russia and Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Monday to coordinate on global security issues and NATO reforms. The two diplomats "reiterated the shared US-Germany commitment to upholding safe transit in the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring Iran never develops or obtains a nuclear weapon," State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said. The high-level talks in Washington follow recent diplomatic efforts to finalise a peace deal between the US and Iran.

NATO summit preparations

The diplomats reviewed the upcoming NATO Summit, scheduled for July 7-8 in Ankara. Both officials emphasised the "importance of burden shifting" within the organisation — a strategy intended to ensure European partners assume primary responsibility for their own conventional defence. Rubio and Wadephul also reaffirmed their "unwavering support" for achieving a "durable peace" between Russia and Ukraine. The meeting comes amid heightened transatlantic coordination ahead of the Ankara summit, where US President Trump is expected to attend alongside other NATO leaders [citation needed]. Türkiye, as the host nation, is preparing to welcome delegates from alliance member states and guest countries, with extensive security measures already in place [citation needed].
