“Under the leadership of President Trump, we will achieve peace through strength and will always put the interests of Americans and America first,” wrote Rubio, a contender for the post of Secretary of State. He also thanked Trump for his trust and promised to work every day to implement the president-elect's foreign policy program.
Previously, US President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint US Senator Marco Rubio from Florida to the post of Secretary of State in his new administration. Rubio is known for his tough views on foreign policy, including the need to increase competition with China, support for Israel and opposition to Iran's nuclear program.
