Donald Trump is expected to select Senator Marco Rubio as secretary of state, positioning him to become the first Latino in this role when Trump takes office in January.
Rubio, known for his hawkish stance, has long supported a strong foreign policy against nations like China, Iran, and Cuba.
In recent years, Rubio has adjusted his views to better align with Trump, who advocates for a restrained foreign policy and criticizes past presidents for costly wars. Although Trump could change his choice, sources said Monday that he seemed set on Rubio.
The new administration faces an increasingly volatile global landscape, with conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and China strengthening ties with U.S. adversaries Russia and Iran.
The Ukraine crisis will be a priority for Rubio, who has recently suggested Ukraine pursue a negotiated settlement with Russia instead of reclaiming all lost territory. Rubio was also one of 15 Republican senators who opposed a $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine in April.
