Trump nominates Marco Rubio to serve as Secretary of State

by November 13, 2024
written by November 13, 2024

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to serve as his Secretary of State. 

‘It is my Great Honor to announce that Senator Marco Rubio, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The United States Secretary of State. Marco is a Highly Respected Leader, and a very powerful Voice for Freedom,’ Trump said in a statement. ‘He will be a strong Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies, and a fearless Warrior who will never back down to our adversaries.’

In a statement, Rubio, 53, said he was ‘honored’ by the trust Trump ‘has placed in me.’

‘As Secretary of State, I will work every day to carry out his foreign policy agenda,’ Rubio wrote on X. ‘Under the leadership of President Trump we will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else.’

‘I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the U.S. Senate so the President has his national security and foreign policy team in place when he takes office on January 20,’ he added. 

The son of Cuban exiles, the three-term senator is known on Capitol Hill as a foreign policy hawk who favors maintaining U.S. alliances overseas, including NATO. 

For example, he voted against the $95 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine and has urged the eastern European nation to negotiate an end to its war with Russia.

However, Rubio, who sits on both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee, has taken similar positions to Trump on international conflicts, including Israel’s war with Hamas. He has also publicly supported Israel’s right to defend itself. 

In his announcement, Trump described Rubio as ‘a strong Advocate for our nation, a true friend to our allies, and a fearless warrior who will never back down to our adversaries.’

‘I look forward to working with Marco to Make America, and the World, Safe and Great Again!’ he said. 

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Rubio called the role a ‘tremendous responsibility.’

‘And the job of the Secretary of State is to execute on foreign policy set by the elected President of the United States, and I hope to have the opportunity to do it if my current colleagues here in the U.S. Senate confirm me,’ he said. 

He was Trump’s rival during his 2016 campaign, where both men sparred during televised debates. Trump sometimes belittled him, sometimes calling him ‘little Marco.’ 

Rubio was previously being considered as a possible running mate by the former president until Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance was selected.
