— Secretary of State Marco Rubio on CIA Director Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow:His visit there was largely routine in that sense of just establishing and continue to build these intel-to-intel communication channels, because those things can prove useful in a time of crisis or conflict.
I mean, this is not unusual. It's occurred under other administrations as well.
But it wasn't part of any sort of broader initiative other than continuing to establish those intel-to-intel channels that can prove useful in any particular contingency or crisis situation.
