Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived for a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Bahrain. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived for a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Bahrain.
