U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met the leaders of the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait on Wednesday, as he looks to reassure Persian Gulf allies of the strength of an interim peace agreement with Iran.<\/p>\n
Rubio met UAE\u2019s President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in Abu Dhabi before departing for Kuwait. He will end the day in Bahrain, as part of a tour that follows the start of U.S.-Iran negotiations to secure a more formal resolution to their near four-month war.<\/p>\n
