Rubio Slams 'Liberal World Order' in Confirmation Hearing, Vows 'America First' Policy as Secretary of State
Jan 15, 2025, 03:40 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio, appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on January 15, 2025, for his confirmation hearing. Rubio, the first Cuban American nominated for the position, emphasized an 'America First' foreign policy, stating that under President Trump, the top priority of the United States Department of State will be the United States. He outlined three guiding questions for foreign policy decisions: 'Does it make America safer?', 'Does it make America stronger?', and 'Does it make America more prosperous?' Rubio criticized the 'liberal world order' as a 'dangerous delusion,' calling the post-war global order 'not just obsolete,' but 'a weapon being used against us.' He vowed to place American interests 'above all else.' Rubio is expected to be confirmed easily, with support from fellow senators and colleagues, including Senator Rick Scott, who introduced him at the hearing.
