Rubio will meet with peers from India, Japan, Australia after expected confirmation, officials say
Associated PressWASHINGTON — The Trump administration would begin formal international engagements this week when Marco Rubio — expected to be confirmed soon as secretary of state — meets with the foreign ministers of India, Japan and Australia, U.S. officials say. The so-called Quad grouping is a main component of the U.S. strategy to blunt increasing Chinese influence and aggression in the Indo-Pacific, an initiative that Trump had championed during his first term in office but was elevated to the leaders’ level by outgoing President Joe Biden. Beijing has sent Vice President Han Zheng to Trump’s inauguration after the U.S. president-elect invited Chinese leader Xi Jinping, but tariffs imposed on Chinese products in Trump’s first term were a hallmark of his trade policy, and he has signaled that he will increase and expand them in his second term. Trump said on social media that they agreed to “do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe!” Meanwhile, several of Trump’s nominees for key Cabinet positions are known China hawks, including Rubio.
