Florida Sen. Marco Rubio promised on Wednesday to implement President-elect Donald Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 바카라 게임 웹사이트�America First바카라 게임 웹사이트� vision as secretary of state, vowing in his confirmation hearing that the incoming administration will forge a new path by placing American interests 바카라 게임 웹사이트�above all else.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�Placing our core national interests above all else is not isolationism," Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "It is the commonsense realization that a foreign policy centered on our national interest is not some outdated relic.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�The postwar global order is not just obsolete; it is now a weapon being used against us,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Rubio said.It's a remarkable opening salvo from Rubio, who was born in Miami to Cuban immigrants and who, if confirmed, would become the first Latino to serve as the nation바카라 게임 웹사이트�s top diplomat.The confirmation hearing begins a new chapter in the political career of the 53-year-old Florida Republican, whose relationship with Trump has evolved over the last decade. Once rivals trading schoolyard insults as they campaigned for president in 2016, the two men became close allies as Trump campaigned for another White House term last year.Rubio first came to Washington as part of the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�tea party바카라 게임 웹사이트� wave in 2010 and once advocated for allowing a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally. But like other Republicans, Rubio's views on immigration have shifted toward the hard-line stance of Trump, who has pledged to aggressively pursue deportations once he takes office on Monday.Unlike many of Trump's Cabinet selections, Rubio is expected to easily win confirmation, notching support not only from Republicans but also Democrats who endorse him as a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�responsible바카라 게임 웹사이트� pick to represent the U.S. abroad. Many expect he will be among the first of Trump's Cabinet picks approved.Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz, who served alongside Rubio on the Foreign Relations Committee, said he has high hopes that the Florida Republican will reject the isolationist approach of other Trump allies.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I think Marco is a hawk, but he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s also an internationalist, and I think the challenge for him will be to maintain the long bipartisan tradition of America being indispensable in world affairs," the Hawaii lawmaker told The Associated Press. "And there are people in the Trump world who want us to run away from being the leaders of the free world. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트�m hoping that Marco바카라 게임 웹사이트�s instincts towards American strength will win the day.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Rubio's approach to foreign affairs is grounded in his years of service on the Foreign Relations committee and the Senate Intelligence panel. In his speeches and writings, he's delivered increasingly stern warnings about growing military and economic threats to the United States, particularly from China, which he says has benefited from a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�global world order" that he characterizes as obsolete.China, Rubio told the committee, has 바카라 게임 웹사이트�lied, cheated, hacked, and stolen their way to global superpower status, at our expense.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Wednesday declined to comment on Rubio's remarks.If confirmed, Rubio will become the leader of U.S. foreign policy 바카라 게임 웹사이트� though his role will surely remain secondary to Trump, who relishes the global stage and frequently uses the bully pulpit against America's allies.Even before taking office, Trump has stirred angst in foreign capitals by threatening to seize the Panama Canal and Greenland and suggesting he will pressure Canada to become the nation바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 51st state.By winning another term, Trump has won an 바카라 게임 웹사이트�unmistakable mandate from the voters,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Rubio will say.바카라 게임 웹사이트�They want a strong America. Engaged in the world. But guided by a clear objective, to promote peace abroad, and security and prosperity here at home.바카라 게임 웹사이트�A Biden administration decision to rescind Cuba바카라 게임 웹사이트�s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism with just days left in office is likely to irk Rubio, who has long supported tough sanctions on the communist-run island.Rubio바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office did not respond to multiple queries Tuesday about the senator바카라 게임 웹사이트�s reaction to the move, which many believe will almost certainly be reversed by the Trump administration.Secretaries of state have played a key role in formulating the foreign policy of the country since its founding, starting with the first one, Thomas Jefferson, who served in the top Cabinet position under President George Washington.Since then, Jefferson, as well as his 19th century successors James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren and James Buchanan, have all gone on to be elected president.More recent secretaries of state have been less successful in their political ambitions, including John Kerry, who lost the 2004 presidential election to President George W. Bush before becoming the top diplomat, and Hillary Clinton, who lost the 2016 election to Trump.The most successful secretaries of state have been known for their closeness to the presidents whom they serve, notably James Baker under George H.W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice under George W. Bush and, to some extent, Clinton under Barack Obama.Like Clinton, Rubio was once a political rival to the president-elect who nominated them. However, the Clinton-Obama relationship during the 2008 Democratic primaries was not nearly as hostile as that between Trump and Rubio in the 2016 GOP primaries, which was marked by name-calling and personal insults.Trump had an acrimonious relationship with his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson. Trump fired him from the position via a social media post less than two years into his term.
