“He will be a strong defender of our nation, a true friend to our allies and a fearless warrior who will never back down from our adversaries,” Trump said in a statement distributed by world news agencies.
Marco Rubio has already reacted to Trump’s decision on the X network.
“Heading the US State Department is a huge responsibility, and I am grateful for the trust that President Trump has placed in me. As Secretary of State, I will work every day to implement his foreign policy agenda. Under President Trump’s leadership, we will pursue peace through strength and will always put the interests of Americans and America first. I look forward to the support of my colleagues in the US Senate to ensure that the President has his national security and foreign policy team in place when he takes office on January 20,” Senator Rubio wrote.
53-year-old Marco Rubio is the son of Cuban immigrants, one of the supporters of the active foreign policy of the United States. He is known for his sharp criticism of authoritarian regimes – Chinese, Iranian, Cuban. During the first presidential term of Donald Trump, Rubio was one of the initiators of a bill that complicates the procedure for the US to withdraw from NATO membership. It was a response to President Trump’s skepticism about NATO. However, later Rubio expressed views similar to those of Donald Trump on international issues.
In April of this year, he was one of 15 Republican senators who voted against the allocation of a $95 billion aid package to Ukraine and Israel. In his recent interviews, he said that Ukraine needs to focus on reaching an agreement with Russia, even if it does not lead to the return of all Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia. The conflict, he said, “needs to be ended.”
“I’m not a supporter of Russia, but unfortunately the reality is that the war in Ukraine will end with a peace agreement,” Rubio said in a recent interview with NBC.
Donald Trump won the US presidential elections, the change of administration and transfer of power should take place on January 20.
