Rubio says US, China at 'strategic stability' ahead of Trump tripBASSETERRE, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Feb 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United States and China have reached "stability" in their long-fractious relationship, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday ahead of President Donald Trump's visit to the Asian power. "I think we've reached a point at least of a sort of strategic stability in the relationship," Rubio told reporters. Rubio said that the United States would keep raising concerns including seeking to diversify from China's dominance in supply chains. He also vowed to keep pushing China to negotiate a three-way nuclear deal with the United States and Russia. China's nuclear arsenal has been growing rapidly, although it remains well below those of Russia and the United States.
