WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson released the following statement congratulating Senator Marco Rubio on his selection to serve as Secretary of State.
“Senator Rubio is one of the most thoughtful leaders on foreign affairs in all of government. He has spent years in the Senate working to protect Americans from the malign influence of our adversaries, especially as China, Russia, and Iran bolster Communist dictators who traffic fentanyl and give safe haven to terrorists in our hemisphere. We can all rest easier knowing that with President Trump and Marco Rubio, the sun has set on the America-last status quo and a new day of strong American leadership has dawned.”
