President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Florida Senator Marco Rubio for the role of Secretary of State, according to sources close to the matter. If confirmed, Rubio would be the first Latino to serve as the United States‘ top diplomat, marking a historic milestone.
The choice underscores the growing alliance between Trump and Rubio, once fierce rivals during the 2016 Republican primary. Despite their past differences, Rubio has emerged as a key adviser to Trump on matters of foreign policy, building a solid working relationship over the years. This selection officially brings Rubio into Trump’s Cabinet, reflecting a deepening partnership as the incoming administration takes shape.
The nomination also follows Rubio’s recent consideration as a top contender for vice president, though that role ultimately went to Ohio Senator JD Vance. Known for his strong stance on China, Rubio is expected to bring a tough approach to U.S. diplomacy, aligning closely with Trump’s “America First” foreign policy through the U.S. Department of State’s initiatives.
