When President Joe Biden took office in 2021, he inherited a peaceful world that benefited from President Donald Trump’s first term in office. Nevertheless, the biased mainstream media loudly asserted that Mr. Biden’s foreign policy experience made him the better choice and that his team would be the same as having the “adults” back in the room.
As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth. After four long and difficult years, the world is an extremely dangerous place, and as President-elect Trump prepares for his second term in office, nearly every corner of the planet must act quickly. There are a surprising number of problems.
The bottom line is that Biden’s weak foreign policy has destabilized the world. in afghanistanin Ukraine and the Middle East, and allowed China to operate almost unchecked in the Western Hemisphere, despite its egregious actions. As tensions between China and Taiwan continue to rise, the United States, under the direction of President Trump and his foreign policy team, has announced that President Xi Jinping has told the free world that China isreunify” with Taiwan.
Trump would rectify the situation by: put Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) becomes Secretary of State. Mr. Rubio will be given a vast portfolio of global challenges that are not for the faint of heart. Biden’s reckless withdrawal from Afghanistan sent a signal to adversaries that under his leadership the US government would make weak national security decisions based on political pressure from the radical left. America continues to pay dearly for this terrible thinking.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wasted no time in invading Ukraine and starting a bloody war that lasted nearly three years. Putin’s war in Ukraine is hurting our country Billions Taxpayer money can be used domestically to help our own people. And as his only term in office came to an ignominious end, Biden never articulated a consistent U.S. policy or ultimate goal in Ukraine.
And in October 2023, it received support from Iran. terrorist organization hamas It launched a barbaric attack on Israel, killing more than 1,200 innocent people and taking another 250 hostages. Iranian-funded terrorist proxies have been running a rampant operation across the Middle East under Biden’s watch, including a seemingly continuous barrage of attacks on U.S. military facilities in the region. are.
Rubio became an expert on international affairs during his time in the Senate as vice chair. information committee and as a senior member foreign affairs committee. As the son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio understands that freedom must be carefully guarded and that the evils of socialism and communism are real. With Mr. Rubio as the next Secretary of State, Mr. Trump has an experienced leader who can speak eloquently and with conviction about American exceptionalism and the U.S. Constitution anywhere in the world.
Mr. Rubio has a strong and unflinching record of taking a tough stance on China, holding Iran accountable, and standing side by side with Israel. Regarding China in particular, the senior Florida senator has always been clear about the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. Rubio is said: “Without action, the Chinese Communist Party will continue to rise at the expense of the United States. A world order dominated by such a regime is bad for America and for the values of liberty, liberty, and individual rights. ” This kind of common sense candor about the huge challenges we face as a nation in the coming years is long overdue.
Mr. Rubio’s positions on Iran and Israel represent another stark contrast to the Biden-Harris administration’s embarrassing moral equivalency. recently Rubio wrote: “Iran’s brutal missile attack on Israeli civilians confirms what we’ve always known: The terrorist Iranian regime is destroying the Middle East through death, chaos, and ultimately the complete destruction of Israel.” This system can no longer be appeased. I urge the reimposition of the maximum pressure campaign against Iran and fully support Israel’s right to respond unreasonably to stop this threat. ” These words are a relief to allies and a reminder to adversaries that with the incoming Trump administration, business as usual is over.
Rubio is essentially an anti-establishment political outsider, unafraid to speak truth to power in the mold of Donald Trump. Mr. Rubio has a convincing track record of taking on deep-seated special interests and thoroughly questioning failed status quo policies. Mr. Rubio’s skills in this regard are the perfect complement to Mr. Trump’s forward thinking on geopolitical priorities such as Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal and renaming the Gulf of Mexico, when he will be sworn into office on January 20. It will be.
The American people are confident that Marco Rubio will be an excellent Secretary of State, and the Senate should immediately approve his nomination with strong bipartisan support. With President Joe Biden, he’ll definitely have his hands full.
