A Security Officer of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio freaks out in front of a NATO meeting in Brussels. This also brought the politician to criticism.

The “Amigo” hotel is located in the center of Brussels. The accommodation not far from the Grand Place is considered a noble hostel. The French President traditionally stays here at EU summit meetings, as well as the German head of government. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also chose the “Amigo” before the NATO Foreign Ministers’ meeting.

The unrest was great. On the one hand, political. The allies in Europe fear for the United States Security. But that wasn’t the only excitement. A security officer was freaked out in the hotel bar a few days before the Foreign Ministers’ meeting.

The control was closed. That brought the US security officer into rage. When he also defended himself against the Called Belgian police, he was arrested. Only at the intervention of the US message in Brussels was the security officer released after a few hours, the newspaper “Washington Examiner” reports.

The incident occurred a few days before the ministerial meeting, according to the paper. Before traveling from top international politicians, it is common for their security teams to check the location on site. It’s about arrival and departure routes. And about possible security gaps. The trips are generally popular. The stress factor is usually low. In this case it was different.

The freak also criticizes Marco Rubio. The US newspaper reports overtime and tense mood in the team of the US Foreign Minister. The sheet quotes an insider for the high workload of the employees: “You work six to seven days a week. I am convinced that this is due to the incredible burden that the security officer was exposed to.”

The US State Department did not comment on the incident. The “Amigo” hotel also rejected every comment. Discretion is part of the business. Especially in this case.
