Trump to Nominate Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Sources Confirm

Donald Trump is expected to appoint U.S. Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, making him the first Latino in this role. Rubio, known for his hawkish stance on China and Cuba, has softened some positions to align with Trump's more restrained foreign policy. His appointment could strengthen Republican support among Latino voters, a demographic that has increasingly leaned Republican. Rubio's selection reflects a shift in Republican foreign policy towards restraint, particularly in Europe, and highlights his influence on issues like Ukraine and China.
