美国国务卿鲁比奥表示，美国外交政策主要由行政部门主导，并强调中期选举不会改变特朗普的施政方针。

On Saturday U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said US-Iran diplomatic talks "have in effect never stopped" and that President Trump’s first choice in addressing global challenges is diplomacy and peaceful means where possible. Iran’s top diplomat said on Saturday Tehran currently has no plans to hold talks with the United States, despite growing concern the two sides could rekindle hostilities.

US Secretary of State Rubio said President Trump does not view negotiating or meeting with someone as a concession.
