US Sutra | Marco Rubio as Trump’s Secretary of State: Impact on India

Firstpost  

In this image posted by @DrSJaishankar via X on January 22, 2025, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a meeting, in Washington DC. But let’s make no mistake: Marco Rubio as Secretary of State under President Trump marks a pivotal shift in US foreign policy, with implications that extend across global relations, domestic politics, and international security. While US policy might intensify efforts to undermine leftist governments in Latin America, Rubio’s focus will be on controlling illegal immigration and criminal cartels entering the US through Mexico. As a long-standing critic of China, Rubio’s role as Secretary of State could herald a more confrontational US approach towards Beijing. Similarly, Rubio’s unwavering support for Israel and his criticism of the Biden administration’s Middle East policy suggest that under his stewardship, US policy might lean towards stronger military and diplomatic backing for Israel, especially in light of ongoing conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah.
