I don`t think that the European Union gets to determine what international law is, and what they certainly don`t get to determine is how the United States defends its national security. Such a statement made the US Secretary of State, while responding to the criticism from European countries following the deployment of an American aircraft carrier in the Caribbean region.

"The US is under attack from organized criminal narco-terrorists in our hemisphere, and the President is responding in the defense of our country.

I do find it interesting that all of these countries want us to send and supply, for example, nuclear-capable Tomahawk missiles to defend Europe, but when the United States positions aircraft carriers in our hemisphere where we live, somehow that`s a problem. So I would say that the US is – and this President has made very clear his job is to protect the United States from threats against the United States, and that is what he’s doing in this operation", - said Marco Rubio.
