Monday brought a mix of international and local headlines, from Washington to Zagreb.
US President Donald Trump said he expects Secretary of State Marco Rubio to remain in the role, according to Croatian daily Vecernji list. In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, Trump was asked about Rubio's future and replied, "I think he will." Rubio had previously denied reports he was considering leaving the administration, telling The New York Times it was always his intention to serve the full term. The former Florida senator is seen as a potential Republican candidate for the 2028 presidential election.
Separately, Trump told CNN that further attacks on Iran are unlikely as long as negotiations progress. He said it depends on whether Iran signs a "very strong agreement," and mentioned potential infrastructure targets, including 38 bridges that could be destroyed in an hour. The comments follow recent US strikes and ongoing diplomatic efforts.
In Croatian football, Dinamo Zagreb coach Jerko Leko confirmed he will stay in the job after a 3-1 comeback win over Varaždin in the SuperSport HNL. Leko, who took over last week, said the club will stand behind him and that he wants to build a team that is energetic and united. He also promised to give more chances to young players from the club's academy, saying they must feel the club cares about them.
