"Someone Made A Big Mistake": Marco Rubio On Journalist Added To Yemen Chat

 Kingston:

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that the inclusion of a journalist in group chat on military strikes was a "big mistake" and expected reforms, while highlighting his own limited role.

"Obviously, someone made a mistake -- someone made a big mistake -- and added a journalist. Nothing against journalists, but you ain't supposed to be on that thing," Rubio told a news conference in Jamaica.

"I think there will be reforms and changes made so this never -- this is not going to happen again," he said.

Rubio did not assign blame but quickly noted that he only participated twice in the chat -- once to assign a representative and later after the US government had publicly announced the strikes on Yemen.
