News that President-elect Donald Trump nominated Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to get his secretary of state is causing bloating among U. S. enemies because Rubio is known for his aggressive walk towards China, Cuba, and Iran. If confirmed, Rubio’s nomination was considerably form U. S. foreign policy, especially regarding these nations.
Rubio, the brother of a Caribbean captivity, has been a U. S. lawmaker since 2011. His personal trip, generally described as an American Dream coming true, speaks with some.
After losing to Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, Rubio shifted his focus to U. S. international plan, serving on the Senate Intelligence Committee and Foreign Relations Committee. His conservative approach to U. S. adversaries, mainly China, has been a defining characteristic of his profession.
Rubio was acoustic in introducing charges to tackle the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights abuses in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong. In July 2020, Beijing second imposed sanctions against Rubio and a few other Democratic politicians because it was so enraged by his outcry. In what they alleged was retaliation for the U.S. sanctions against 11 senior CCP and Hong Kong officials for their human rights violations in Hong Kong, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP ) sanctioned Rubio once more a month later along with ten other U.S. citizens.
Rubio tweeted in response:” Next month China banned me. They gave me a sanction now. Although I’m starting to suspect they do n’t like me, I do n’t want to be paranoid.
Taking a Stand
Undaunted by Beijing’s punishment, Rubio continued to introduce some costs” to protect American customers, workers, and investors from abuse by the Chinese Communist Party”. Ford was prohibited from using CATL’s technology to build a battery factory in Michigan under a bill that prohibits it from doing so, arguing that the deal would “only increase our dependence on the Chinese Communist Party for battery technology” and would probably allow the factory to receive IRA tax credits.
During a Senate reading, Rubio grilled FBI Director Christopher Wray about TikTok, a popular game made in China. According to Rubio, TikTok poses” a significant risk to the country’s national safety” in the manner that was never faced before.
In September this year, Rubio’s office issued the report” The World China Made: ‘ Made-in-China 2025 ‘ nine years later”, a follow-up to his 2019 report. Rubio said,” This statement should serve as a wake-up visit to lawmakers, Directors, and investors. We need a whole-of-society effort to rebuild our land, overcome the China problem, and keep the flame of liberation lit for generations to come”.
Most recently, Rubio sent a letter to PwC Global, one of the world’s major budgeting and financial services organizations, stating:
Continuous engagements with unusual adversaries are unacceptable. Concerning conflicts of interest, PwC’s visible close ties to CCP-controlled organizations raise concerns that the organization could not legally execute any contract with U.S. federal and state government agencies. Global companies like PwC, who have profited from a free and democratic system governed by American values, can no longer get to serve and profit from both sides of this conflict.
China is evidently stressed about Rubio’s good assurance. Rubio is described by China’s state media as the “anti-China spearhead” who “has seized the domestic demand for “anti-China” in the US and “has jumped up and down in different “anti-China” problems” created by the US state to achieve social capital. Rubio will become the first person to hold that position in the senior cabinet while Beijing forbids travel to China ( China imposed sanctions against former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after he left the position ). Beijing may become guilt as a result. If the CCP wishes to maintain diplomatic relations with the world’s most powerful state, it will have no choice but to back down and revoke the restrictions against Rubio.
Israel and Russia
Beijing is n’t the only U. S. adversary wary of Rubio’s nomination. In a viral video circulating on social media, when pro-Palestinian protestors cornered Rubio in a hallway and demanded he denounce Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza, he was n’t intimidated. He rather stated that he wanted Israel to “destroy every aspect of Hamas they can get their hands on.” These people] Hamas ] are vicious animals, who did horrific crimes”. Rubio’s morally clear response and unwavering support of Israel is a refreshing exit from President Joe Biden’s cowardly response to pro-Palestinian protest by claiming,” They]protestors ] have a place”.
Rubio is a well-known bird of Russia. In the first weeks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Rubio referred to Russia’s tyrant Vladimir Putin as a “killer” in a post. Rubio, however, resisted sacrificing American resources in favor of unusual wars this year, showing his pragmatism and freedom. He joined 14 different Republican lawmakers in voting against a$ 95 billion military aid package for Ukraine in April. In a recent interview, Rubio even urged Ukraine to request” a negotiated negotiation” with Russia.
By naming aggressive Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., as national security advisor and nominating Rubio for secretary of state, President-elect Trump signals the direction of his foreign policy approach for his next term: No more of the Biden-Harris administration’s appeasement, the Trump administration did venture America’s strength and protect America’s interests without squandering America’s resources on countless wars, and the administration may intensify its focus on proper competition against China, a crucial aspect that may shape the next four years of U. S. international policy.
