GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump has offered for the United States to be responsible for the reconstruction of Gaza, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday, after the president proposed a U.S. takeover of the enclave.
Rubio, speaking at a press conference in Guatemala City, said it was a unique offer to step in and clear debris and destruction in Gaza, adding that people will have to live somewhere while it is rebuilt. He said it was not meant as a hostile move and that details still needed to be worked out.
