Marco Rubio is America’s new Secretary of State; Trump directs “America First” policy

Hindustan Times  

Washington: The US Senate late on Monday unanimously approved Marco Rubio as America’s new Secretary of State, making the senator from Florida the first cabinet rank official in the Donald Trump administration to be confirmed. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio speaks after he was sworn at the White House in Washington, DC, on January 21, 2025 Rubio’s confirmation came just as Trump issued an “America First” policy directive for the Secretary of State as a part of his initial flurry of executive orders. Rubio’s confirmation sets him up to participate in the Trump administration’s first foreign policy engagement — a meeting of Quad foreign ministers at the State Department on Tuesday afternoon eastern time. In the order meant for the Secretary of State, the President said, “From this day forward, the foreign policy of the United States shall champion core American interests and always put America and American citizens first.” He instructed Rubio to issue guidance to bring policy, personnel, programmes and operations of the State Department “in line with an America First foreign policy, which puts America and its interests first” -- a statement that is set to define the early days of the Trump presidency and its interaction with the world.
