Donald Trump has announced that Marco Rubio will be the next Secretary of State of the United States. Rubio, known as a critical ally of the country, has been especially vocal in his opposition to the dictatorships of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. In the case of Brazil, he recently accused Judge Alexandre de Moraes of undermining basic freedoms in collaboration with Lula. Furthermore, he has expressed harsh criticism towards the Colombian president, accusing him of supporting Maduro in Venezuela and Díaz Canel in Cuba.
Rubio has also been tasked with convincing European partners of the importance of funding NATO and advocating for a swift resolution in Ukraine that guarantees secure borders for all. He intends to create a demilitarized zone controlled by European soldiers that separates Ukraine from Russia and Belarus.
Senator Marco Rubio, 53 years old and son of Cuban immigrants, is recognized for his knowledge of Central and South America. He has established a close relationship with Javier Milei and praised his 'plan to save Argentina.' Rubio has also pressured the Biden administration to impose sanctions on CFK and her relatives.
Rubio's appointment as Secretary of State is interpreted as a strategic move by Trump to imprint his ideology on international relations. Rubio stands out for his firm stance and defense of the nation. Likewise, Trump and Rubio share a friendship with Israel and a focus on anti-communist policies.
By being appointed to such an important position, Rubio symbolizes a shift in the orientation of the United States towards Latin America after years of neglect, amid the growing Chinese influence in the region. His nomination reflects the importance that Trump places on international relations and the fight against dictatorial regimes in the region.
