Profile
Marco Rubio serves as the U.S. Secretary of State, confirmed in January 2025 with unanimous Senate support. In addition to overseeing American foreign policy, he also holds several high-level roles: acting National Security Advisor, acting Administrator of USAID, and acting Archivist of the United States—a concentration of influence that has led some to refer to him informally as the “Secretary of Everything.”
Rubio is the first Hispanic and the first Floridian to serve as Secretary of State. Since taking office, he has led a sweeping reorganization of the State Department, consolidating bureaus and reducing staff as part of a broader effort to align diplomacy with an “America First” strategy.
He has taken a firm stance on key global challenges, prioritizing security, strategic alliances, and institutional accountability. Under his leadership, the department launched an investigation into academic visa programs over national security concerns, led U.S. diplomatic efforts to de-escalate conflict in Syria, and coordinated a major U.S.–Russia summit focused on ending the war in Ukraine. He has also directed U.S. diplomats to refrain from publicly commenting on foreign elections unless there is a compelling national interest.
Rubio has made countering authoritarian regimes—particularly China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—a central focus of his foreign policy agenda. On his first day in office, he emphasized the need for deeper security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, calling for stronger alliances to counter Beijing’s growing influence.
A former U.S. Senator from Florida, Rubio previously served as Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and was a senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee. He first rose to national prominence in 2010 as a Tea Party-backed candidate and was later reelected to the Senate in 2016 and 2022. Throughout his career, he has emphasized the importance of American strength, strategic clarity, and moral leadership in global affairs.
In his current roles, Rubio is reshaping U.S. diplomacy and national security through a clear and assertive vision—focused on defending American interests, challenging hostile powers, and reasserting U.S. leadership in a complex and volatile world.
