Foreign Minister Winston Peters will travel to Washington D.C. this week.
“The current global context is the most challenging New Zealand has faced in the past 80 years,” Mr Peters says.
“In times as complex as these, we highly value opportunities to meet face to face.”
While in Washington, Peters will meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio among others.
“We intend to discuss our shared commitments to cooperate in the Pacific and Indo-Pacific, as well as significant international developments – particularly the conflict in the Middle East and its impacts on our region.”
“These meetings will advance New Zealand’s diplomatic, security and economic interests and facilitate greater mutual understanding of our respective priorities.”
Peters leaves New Zealand later today (6 April) and returns on Friday (10 April).

Are these idiots actually grounded in reality? Helen Clark once described Iran as a “medieval theocracy”. Does she and Winston Peters support theopolitical irrationality over geopolitical rationality? https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/secure-ceasefire-iran-us-must-abandon-ideological-war
Lets hope Winston listens to Rubio grows a set and takes a leaf out of Trumps book.
We are at a crossroads.
Donald Trump is a big pussy.
Honestly?
It is bad enough he is going over to meet up with war criminals (that he hasn’t rebuked or condemned).
If we had a decent minister of foreign affairs, the US would have been shown the door already.
The mafia boss off on another wee jaunt.
Go Go Winston.
In a normal world why would you need to meet a violent, Zionist regime.?
Oh, I forget New Zealand was always in the genocidal Zionist camp.
You are just acting by default like always. Let’s support our Zionist genocidal maniacs.
You might as well involve New Zealand in that unjust war . Why not. Let’s be consistent.
The Empire is in its final death struggle.

I guess this ‘government’ will just applaud when these maniacs in their despair start firing nukes against Iran.
This government sullying our reputation yet again by meeting with the warmongering US establishment. I don’t care what comes next, they need to go this election. Associating ourselves with this political and moral “swamp” isn’t acceptable.
You know you’re going to get Labour again don’t you. The fake democracy is rigged.
Yes I do but it sends a message, clean up your act or here’s the door…..and let that apply to all the globalist party’s….
No need to clean anything up. They know they’re coming back next time.
Labour and National are both globalist parties, as are Liberals and Labour in Australia and the Tories and Labour in the UK.
Don’t you ever learn?
You missed my point. If they keep getting kicked out after one term they will have no choice but to change. One term allows them to accomplish very little and it opens the door to political newcomers as it sends a “no confidence” message. And yes I know darn well they are globalists. Have zero plans to vote for any of them.
Sadly, you are correct Tom.
So you want us to back this, do you? Wake up.

“These meetings will advance New Zealand’s diplomatic, security and economic interests and facilitate greater mutual understanding of our respective priorities.”
“These meetings will advance New Zealand’s diplomatic, security and economic interests and facilitate greater mutual understanding of our respective priorities.”
And just when you thought it was impossible to actually increase the torrents of gaslighting horsesh*t and sneaky weasel-words gushing from their phony contorted mouths
Bring back some oil lol
Oh it will be an oily meeting, of that you can have every confidence….
I wonder if that’s why he’s going there. To secure another avenue for oil.
How is this meeting going to help our security? The US has shown it can’t/won’t protect their allies in the Gulf.
The US doesn’t make NZ safer. And if we try to leave their sphere of influence, I would say the threat would come from them.
Where are your condemnations for the war crimes the US is committing Winston? Where?
Nothing to say about the purposeful targeting of a girls school, with a double tap strike in the first minutes of the attack war-crime?
Nothing about the targetting of hospitals, medical manufacturing factories, universities and nuclear power stations war crimes.
Nothing about the war of aggression started by Israel and USA?
You go on and on Winston, about Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine.
You sir, are a good deceiver. I wonder if all those voters that supported Winston and NZ First last election are happy with Winston hitching NZ’s wagon to the war crimes train.
Vote for the NZ Loyal Party in November!

Get ready for New Zealand to implement US policies after Winnie returns with his instructions. The “talks” will be one way and one-sided – it won’t be Winnie telling Rubio anything.
Does hypocritical Winston Peters have double standards? The USA lied while negotiating TWICE with Iran – in June2025 and Feb2026 – both times launching wars while lying about negotiations. However Winston claims nobody gets to lie to him twice – on his own website – https://www.nzfirst.nz/news-no-one-gets-to-lie-to-me-twice-winston-peters-reveals-the-party-he-wont-work-with
Don’t forget to pack some garlic, holy water and a cross Peters….
Zion Satanist meeting with Zion Satanist. Why? Winnie the Poo, taking orders still, from the Trilateralist, remind him not to go into any hotel room by himself…. Hope it ain:t about taking in 300,000x Isis Ra El refugees, probably…. Jesus is King, not Trump and not TEAM Zion Satnist.and Frak the NWO..
Winnie just getting his instructions from the global bullies.
He won’t even get an audience with the banksters.
Sucking up to the epstein regime winnie the globalist
Rubio did NOTHING for Disabled Veterans when he was a U.S. Senator from Florida
HE won’t get involved, but pawns the tasks off on his office underlings referred to as ‘Congressional Aides’.
They in turn have hatred & contempt for Veterans, and always place the onus back onto the Veteran for matters relating to compensation, medals, DD Form 214 Discharge Papers upgrades, but he NEVER got involved with Veterans.
He did however, like all of the local, county, and state politicians accepted money fro Florida’s J3w$, and they bend over backwards to help the Zionist J3w$ from the Synagogue of Satan (Saturn…) .
& Florida Governor DeSantis is demanding new laws that jail Floridians for criticising the J3w$…

Unsure what commitment the US is seeking. Hopefully its limited to logistics and not the lives of our children. Doubtful if the public will know exactly.
I would be very surprised if the straight can be opened without securing both sides of the straight. Thats means capturing, holding and eventually owning that real estate forever.
Why can’t these politicians just make a zoom call instead of wasting OUR money
