Serving as the 72nd Secretary of State, Marco Rubio outlines his mission under President Trump's administration. Emphasizing core national interests, he sets forth a plan to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.
Rubio's strategy involves curbing mass migration and securing borders. He states, "The State Department will no longer undertake any activities that facilitate or encourage mass migration." Diplomatic relations, especially in the Western Hemisphere, will focus on border security and repatriation of illegal immigrants.
Performance and merit are highlighted within the department. Rubio notes that an executive order from President Trump eliminates “DEIA” requirements across government offices.
Returning to basic diplomacy by removing focus on divisive political and cultural issues is another priority. This approach aims for pragmatic foreign policy cooperation with other nations.
Rubio emphasizes stopping censorship and suppression of information: "The State Department I lead will support and defend Americans’ rights to free speech." Efforts against enemy propaganda will be based on truth without censoring Americans.
Lastly, climate policies perceived as weakening America will be reassessed. While environmental threats won't be ignored, the focus is on American energy dominance through diplomacy.
Rubio concludes with a commitment to making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous amid global power rivalries.
