President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, as secretary of state.
The publication notes that Trump has so far reached such a decision after considering other candidates, but he can change his mind at the last minute.
For reference
Elected to the Senate in 2010, Rubio has taken a hawkish stance on foreign policy, taking a tough stance on China and Iran. Initially, his position differed from those Republicans who were more skeptical of foreign interventions, but recently he also supports Trump on such issues as, for example, Russia’s war against Ukraine.
We will remind
Donald Trump has offered Congressman Mike Waltz the position of national security adviser. In this role, Waltz will focus on geopolitical conflicts, including the war in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East.
US President-elect Donald Trump is also expected to announce in the coming days that Stephen Miller, his top immigration adviser, will become White House deputy chief of staff for policy.
In addition, it became known that Donald Trump appointed Republican Alice Stefanik as a candidate for the post of US ambassador to the United Nations. Stefanyk is known for her criticism of the UN and her controversial position on Ukraine – she supported sanctions against the Russian Federation, but voted against new funding.
