Supporters of European diplomats argue that exclusion from the Abu Dhabi talks risks a settlement Europe must fund and enforce without shaping it, so they press for a seat to protect their leverage.
Supporters of European diplomats counter that exclusion cedes leverage rather than preserving it: sidelined powers can spoil terms from outside, and Europe's demand for a seat is itself the bid for influence Rubio's backers claim to want checked.

Supporters of Marco Rubio argue that as the mediating party, the US sets the format and participant list for Abu Dhabi, and that no legal framework obliges Washington to grant European diplomats a seat at the table.
Supporters of Marco Rubio counter that funding and sanctions don't confer negotiating standing under international law; they argue only the sovereign parties to the conflict hold legal authority to settle terms.

Supporters of Marco Rubio argue that European diplomats demanding a seat at Abu Dhabi are confusing consultation with leverage, and that a smaller table serves US interests by keeping Russia and Ukraine at the negotiating table.
Supporters of Marco Rubio counter that a seat at the table is leverage Europe hasn't earned, and that paying costs while ceding decisions is the price of dependence, not a claim on influence.

Supporters of Marco Rubio counter that Europe's post-Christian secularism undercuts its claim to speak for a Christian moral voice, arguing that scripture calls the faithful to act, not merely to hold a seat.
