Jurisdiction was the sticking point. Speaking after a G7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris, Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected the International Criminal Court's authority over Americans and citizens of countries that have not joined its founding treaty.

"We believe we can inflict tremendous damage on the ICC unless they see the error of their ways," he said. Later, he returned to his opposition to the court exercising jurisdiction over American citizens and non-signatory allies, including Israel.

DWS News' recording drew about 102,000 views in eight hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's regular videos. The briefing ranges well beyond the court, with reporters pressing Rubio on cabinet colleagues, artificial intelligence and diplomacy.

Asked about Representative Thomas Massie's impeachment push against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Rubio defended his colleague: "I think he's done a great job. I mean, I've worked with him every single day on many of these topics." He also declined to discuss the next presidential campaign when asked about JD Vance.

On Ukraine, Rubio described the United States as a diplomatic facilitator, saying, "The United States is not a combatant in that war." Returning later to proposed security treaties, he acknowledged that they would require Senate approval and would be difficult to pass.
