Trump Reportedly Set To Nominate Marco Rubio as Secretary of State

President-elect Donald J. Trump is reportedly set to nominate Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as Secretary of State, according to sources familiar with his decision-making.

According to the New York Times, Trump could still change his mind, but insiders say he has largely settled on Rubio, who was also considered as a potential running mate.

Rubio, first elected to the Senate in 2010 as a Tea Party leader, has been a vocal foreign policy hawk, especially on China and Iran, and recently echoed Trump’s stance on Ukraine, describing it as a “stalemate.”

Rubio’s past relationship with Mr. Trump has been complicated, with the two clashing during the 2016 Republican primaries. However, Rubio has continued to support Donald Trump.
