BREAKING: Secretary Of State Marco Rubio Takes Question As He Departs G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting

Published | Video Starts at 32:36

Okay, one quick question on Hungary. Mr. Secretary. You guys have issued waiver they conflicting approach about terms limits. Is it about one year or indefinite? No, no. So it depends. There's a nuclear plant issue that's already under construction and they need to complete. And because it involves a Russian company that did the design and build, we want them to be able to complete because we want them to be energy independent. In the case of the pipelines on oil and gas, it's a one year extension because it would be deeply traumatic to their economy to cut them off immediately. (32:36–32:49)
