West Palm Beach, Florida: Donald Trump has begun picking ministers following his historic victory in the US presidential election. Trump on Monday selected U.S. Senator Marco Rubio as foreign secretary, according to sources. Discussions on Rubio’s election as foreign minister have already caused uproar in many countries even before they began. The reason is that Rubio has been very aggressive toward America’s geopolitical foes, China, Iran and Cuba. And Rubio is considered a friend of India. His attitude towards India is very positive.
Who is Marco Rubio?
Marco Rubio was born in Florida, USA. If elected, Rubio, 53, would become the first Latino to serve as Secretary of State. Marco Rubio is one of Donald Trump’s favorites and close friends. When Donald Trump will be sworn in as President of the United States on January 20, 2025, it is believed that Marco Rubio may be the most active choice among the Trump team to run for the position of Foreign Secretary. For years, he advocated a strong foreign policy toward America’s geopolitical enemies: China, Iran, and Cuba. Moreover, after joining Trump, his views largely aligned with theirs and his stance softened. He is one of America’s young leaders.
Trump accuses his predecessors of plunging the United States into meaningless wars.
Newly elected President Donald Trump has accused the country’s other former presidents, including Joe Biden, of plunging the country into costly and pointless wars. He now insists on a more restrained foreign policy toward the United States. Sources say Rubio is most in line with Trump’s ideas. Therefore, he is determined to make Marco Rubio the next secretary of state. Representatives for Trump and Rubio did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Trump administration faces challenges in an unstable and dangerous world
This administration will face the challenges of a world that is more unstable and dangerous than the last Trump administration. This includes the Russian and Ukrainian wars and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. In addition, China’s growing proximity to U.S. enemies such as Russia and Iran is also a huge challenge. Under such a situation, the new U.S. government faces many challenges.
Ukraine crisis tops Rubio’s agenda
Sources said Rubio said in recent interviews that Ukraine needs to reach a negotiated solution with Russia rather than focus on regaining all the territory Russia has seized over the past decade. He was one of 15 Republican senators who voted against a $95 billion Ukraine military aid package passed in April. He is far from the most isolationist option. However, his potential selection highlights a broader shift in Republican foreign policy views under Trump. “I don’t support Russia, but unfortunately the reality is that the war in Ukraine is going to be negotiated,” Rubio said in an interview with NBC in September.
Rubio’s election has domestic and international significance
Trump defeated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 election, winning by a wide margin among Hispanic voters. These Latinos voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in previous election cycles. But this time they voted Republican in large numbers. That’s why Trump decided to choose Rubio, a Latino, as foreign secretary. In doing so, he hopes to solidify his electoral advantage among Latinos.
Rubio ally Mauricio Claver-Carone, former president of the Inter-American Development Bank and former National Security Council assistant for Latin America, said that if Rubio is confirmed, he will do more to support Latin America than any previous secretary of state. More effort. More important. Claver-Carone (Reuters): “At this moment, Latin America will be more visible than any president in U.S. history. This is historic.”
