Rumors are circulating in Washington D.C. that President Elect Donald Trump may be considering Senator Marco Rubio for the position of Secretary of State in a potential second Trump administration. The news, first reported by New York post , cites unnamed sources close to the president. These sources suggest Trump has "appeared to have settled" on Rubio, though they caution that no final decision has been made and Trump could still change his mind.
One source familiar with the situation told that "nothing has been confirmed." This underscores the speculative nature of the reports, particularly given the lack of any official announcement from either Trump or Rubio's offices.
Senator Rubio has a long-standing record of interest in foreign policy, particularly regarding China and Cuba. He has also been a vocal supporter of Cyprus and a critic of Turkey's actions in Varosha. If nominated and confirmed, he would bring a distinct perspective to the State Department.
