President-elect Donald J. Trump announced on Wednesday his intention to nominate Senator Marco Rubio as his secretary of state, a decision expected by many. This choice reflects Mr. Trump's strategy to quickly assemble a robust foreign policy team following his election victory.
By selecting Rubio, Trump is aligning his administration's foreign policy with a hard-line stance on countries like China, Iran, and Venezuela, which were frequent targets of his campaign rhetoric. Rubio's approach complements Trump's vision of a strong national defense.
Trump praised Rubio, stating that he is a 'strong advocate for our nation', emphasizing his loyalty to allies and his willingness to confront adversaries aggressively. This ideal fits into Trump's broader mission of assertive U.S. foreign policy.
