On Saturday, Republican senator Mike Rounds said Rubio had told a group of lawmakers that the draft plan was not US policy.
Speaking at the Halifax Security Forum, he said: "What [Rubio] told us was that this was not the American proposal." Rounds said he had been assured that the plan was presented to Steve Witkoff, who acts as Trump's overseas diplomatic envoy, by "someone... representing Russia". The senator continued: "It is not our recommendation. It is not our peace plan."
