The background is that he's saying that the "real negotiations" will take place later, and must include all parties including the EU.

Of course, nothing means anything under Trump. The whole thing is so disorganized that any statement about the future from any US official might as well come from a magic 8 ball. I just thought it was a little noteworthy that Rubio is making an attempt to be an adult in the room, however doomed that effort might be preordained to be.
