Secretary of State Marco Rubio broke ranks and admitted “someone made a big mistake” by adding a journalist to a secret group chat about military action in Yemen. His remark at a news conference in Jamaica Wednesday contrasted sharply with those of other Trump administration officials who have sought to downplay the severity of the leaks.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, currently on a two-day tour of the Caribbean, kicked off a March 27 stop in Kingston by offering to revisit the current advisory for Jamaica. The State Department's four-tier advisory system starts at Level 1 for countries considered safe and reserves the strictest level for war zones and authoritarian governments.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said no “war plans” had been divulged in the group chat in which he took part. Chat texts published by The Atlantic show detailed information on the planned strikes in Yemen.
