Marco Rubio: “The airport in Kuwait was hit.”

“The problem is, or the challenge we are facing is airspace closures. If a country closes their airport, for example, in some cases the airports have been hit. So The airport in Kuwait was hit. So if an airport's been attacked or the airspace is closed, then we can have the Planes lined up to go, but we can't get them to land because we don't have the permissions to land there.” (06:33–06:35)
