Secretary Rubio Addresses Press 17 December

Department of State

SECRETARY RUBIO: All right. Thank you, guys.

Obviously, we had a classified hearing, so the details of which we can't discuss. It's, I believe, our 22nd or 23rd bipartisan engagement. We'll continue to engage with Congress on this. We're headed to the House now to do a similar briefing and provide updates on this counter-drug mission, which is focused on dismantling the infrastructure of these terrorist organizations that are operating in our hemisphere, undermining the security of Americans, threat - killing Americans, poisoning Americans.

And this has been a highly successful mission that's ongoing and continued, and we're pleased to be here today to update Congress on how that's developing and how that's moving forward. As I said, I believe it's our 22nd, 23rd such engagement, so - been at least the fourth or fifth that I've been involved in, and those will remain and be ongoing. Okay?
