"Blinken pledges aid after Morocco earthquake, defends G20 statement on Ukraine war"

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has pledged U.S. assistance to Morocco following a devastating earthquake that has claimed over 2,000 lives. Blinken defended the G20 statement on the Ukraine war, which did not explicitly call out Russia's aggression. The U.S. is considering supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine, but Blinken did not confirm whether this would be approved. He also declined to comment on Elon Musk's refusal to let Ukraine use his Starlink satellite internet service for a strike on Russia. Blinken expressed confidence in Ukraine's resilience and reiterated the need for meaningful diplomacy to end the conflict.
