Trump nominates Marco Rubio for key foreign policy role, signaling potential shift in NATO approach

Marco Rubio has been nominated by Donald Trump for a key foreign policy role, marking a shift from Trump's usual non-traditional picks. Unlike many of Trump's other nominees, Rubio has significant political experience and has not denied the 2020 election results. Rubio is known for his tough stance on adversaries like Russia and Iran, but he has moderated his views on Ukraine to align with Trump. He co-sponsored legislation to make it harder for Trump to withdraw from NATO, indicating potential disagreements on that front. If confirmed, Rubio would be the first Hispanic American secretary of state. His approach is expected to be more predictable than Trump's, focusing on strong policies towards China and Latin America while maintaining a transactional style in foreign relations.
