Today, The Heritage Foundation expressed its approval of Senator Marco Rubio's appointment as Secretary of State in President-elect Donald Trump's forthcoming administration. The announcement was made by Dr. Kevin Roberts, the President of The Heritage Foundation.
"Senator Rubio is a steadfast ally to our partners, a passionate advocate for freedom and liberty both at home and abroad, and a respected leader who has consistently proven he will never back down in defense of the American people," said Dr. Roberts. He added that with the Trump administration aiming to "ease global tensions and return to a 'peace through strength' approach," Senator Rubio is deemed an ideal choice for leading America on the international front due to his unique qualifications.
Dr. Roberts also commented on the tenure of outgoing Secretary Blinken, suggesting that under his leadership, America's position on the global stage had weakened, leaving allies like Israel vulnerable. He criticized the Biden administration's strategy in Ukraine, claiming it involved spending billions without a clear victory plan.
According to Dr. Roberts, "President Trump and Secretary Rubio will restore peace and stability in Europe and the Middle East, prevent the onset of further wars, and, above all, put America First."
