Rubio: Trump reversal on North Korea sanctions 'shouldn't have happened that way'
By Brett Samuels - 03/24/19 11:14 AM EDT

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday suggested that President Trump's reversal of Treasury Department sanctions against North Korea that had not yet been made public could stoke international uncertainty over future punitive measures.

"Something happened between the time it was announced and the time that the president put out that statement," Rubio said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I don’t know the answer to be honest. I don’t know why he would do that or why it happened the way it did. It’s unusual. It’s never happened before."

Trump tweeted on Friday that he had "ordered the withdrawal" of additional sanctions announced by the Treasury Department. The tweet sparked mass confusion, as the administration had not announced sanctions against North Korea on the same day. 

“President Trump likes Chairman Kim and he doesn’t think these sanctions will be necessary,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a brief statement.

Query?
Trump has repeatedly proven he CANNOT measure character,
yet he sees Rocket Man as a likable friend and that is the
basis for a change in our foreign policy?????
Lord Palmerston wisely asserted, " Great Nations have neither
allies nor friends; the simply have interests."
Well as long as Trump is happy, to hell w/the policy!!!

Maybe Rubio & everyone else ought to just see how things play out?

Nah. Not when there's an audience to satisfy.
