On this path, China will control how Americans live in a decade: Marco Rubio

Hindustan Times  

Washington: Marco Rubio, Donald Trump’s pick to be the US Secretary of State, has said that if current trends continued, China would control the health, security, prosperity and lives of Americans in a decade. US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State, Sen. Marco Rubio testifies during his Senate Foreign Relations confirmation hearing at Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, DC, on Wednesday. Foreign policy insight Offering the first elaborate and authoritative insight into how the Trump administration viewed the world, and its broad policy position, Rubio said that the US must continue supporting Israel, call for an end to the war in Ukraine, and while being committed to Nato, get European countries to invest more in their defence. “Unless something changes in the equilibrium where costs are higher than benefits.we will have to deal with this by the end of the decade.” On Ukraine, Rubio said that the official US policy must be to call for an end to the war in Ukraine, with a realistic appraisal that neither can Russia take over Ukraine nor can Ukraine fully back Russia.
