Ricketts Comments on Trump Decision to Nominate Marco Rubio for Secretary of State

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE), a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, issued the following statement on President Trump’s selection of Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) as Secretary of State:

“The Biden-Harris administration’s appeasement-first foreign policy made America weaker and less safe. In contrast, Senator Rubio is clear-eyed about the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. He is the perfect candidate to help President Trump restore American strength abroad. As a member of the Committee that oversees the State Department, I look forward to getting Marco confirmed as quickly as possible.”
