Florida Senator Marco Rubio has been chosen to serve as Secretary of State in the new U.S. government cabinet. Rubio, recognized within the Republican Party for his long career and Latino background, is seen as a politician aiming to succeed Trump in the upcoming elections. Trump described Rubio as "a warrior who will never back down against America's adversaries."
In addition to Rubio, Trump has confirmed eleven other members of his future cabinet, including Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff, Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, and Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security. These appointments reflect a balance between political loyalties and new alliances within the Republican Party.
Rubio, a conservative politician of Cuban descent, has historically been a critic of Trump, even competing against him in the presidential primaries. However, his appointment as Secretary of State is perceived as a gesture of reconciliation from Trump towards a rival who had broad support within the Republican Party. Rubio's selection highlights the importance of loyalty and political skill in shaping the presidential cabinet.
In this context, President-elect Donald Trump continues to announce the names of those who will accompany him during his term in the White House, reinforcing alliances and balancing forces within his government team.
