Despite a commercial advertising campaign aimed at causing a gap between him and the incoming president, Sen. Marco Rubio, the president’s choice for secretary of state, reiterated his commitment to the America First foreign policy agenda during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
One day before the reading, Politico published a piece that attempted to kiss Marco Rubio’s title of secretary of state farewell before the reading actually began.
Politico’s Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Nahal Toosi makes the reported analysis of a dozen unknown” current and former U.S. and international officials” in the gossip column that appears to be an article. He claims that Rubio didn’t succeed because” the odds are higher that the two may change on policy.” Toosi also makes use of Trump and Rubio’s story as possible potential adversaries in the 2016 presidential election.
The author claims that Rubio’s only chance of remaining in charge of the State Department is to “take the blows from his internal rivals, experience through whatever insults Trump lobs at him, stick to the lanes that are available, and just let the State Department fade into obscurity.”
Although it is true that Rubio and Trump once had a conflict of interest and that the past used a more interventionist and neocon foreign legislation than he does now, things have drastically changed in both domestic and international politics in the last ten years.
Trump and Rubio’s views for the world are much closer up than they were almost ten years ago because of the Republican Party’s continued transition from an organization that operates as an arm of the creation to a group of and for the people. Both care greatly about projecting U. S. strength , to the earth while keeping National tax dollars from funding endless war.
According to Rubio’s spokesman Dan Holler, who spoke to Politico, Rubio is much more focused on putting Trump’s “ambitious foreign policy plan” into practice and making the” crazy games or gossip” his priority rather than giving it any attention. On Wednesday, Rubio confirmed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that his new position will emphasize putting America second.
Rubio stated in his opening declaration that the United States will be the major concern for the US Department of State under President Trump. ” The way he has given for the course of our unusual policy is crystal clear. Every dollar we spend, every programme we bank, every scheme we pursue, may be justified by the response to one of three issues: Does it make America safer? Does it make America stronger? Or does it make America more prosperous”?
On Rubio’s agenda is executing Trump’s vision to curb China’s global influence, end the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, and address the vast problems exacerbating the U. S. border invasion.
” In our very own hemisphere, narcoterrorists and dictators, and despots take advantage of open borders to drive mass migration, to traffic in women and children, and to flood our communities with deadly fentanyl and violent criminals”, Rubio said.
The biggest foreign threat facing the U. S. today, he told senators, is the Communist Party of China,” the most potent and dangerous, near-peer adversary this nation has ever confronted”.
The Chinese Communist Party benefited from all of its benefits, we said. And they ignored all of its obligations and responsibilities. Instead, they have repressed, and lied, and cheated, and hacked, and stolen their way into global superpower status. And they did it at our expense and at the expense of the citizens of their own nation, Rubio said.
When it comes to Eastern Europe, Rubio says he echoes Trump’s desire for “people to stop dying” and for the U. S. to stop funding a conflict with no end in sight— especially when its own border is compromised.
Rubio said,” I believe that the United States should hold the official position that this war should end.” What I find objectionable about the Biden administration is that they never clearly defined what the conflict’s ultimate objective was: what precisely were we funding. What precisely were we giving up money for? On many occasions, it sounded like however much it takes, for however long it takes — that is not a realistic or prudent position”.
Corporate media outlets, unidentified foreign policy officials, and America’s adversaries are attempting to scuttle Rubio and the man who was given the title of the face of the nation’s international relations in an effort to impede their effectiveness. However, the pages of Politico’s own pages acknowledge that Trump and Rubio have previously successfully collaborated to achieve their foreign policy objectives.
Rubio’s public commitment to following through on Trump’s promises to secure the homeland and restabilize the globe suggests that, if he is confirmed, productivity is the priority, not pretend personal strife.
