In a surprising turn of events, sources disclosed on Monday that Donald Trump plans to appoint U.S. Senator Marco Rubio as his Secretary of State. The move positions Rubio as America's first Latino top diplomat under the incoming Republican administration.

Historically regarded as the hawkish contender on Trump's shortlist, Rubio's past policy stances on China, Iran, and Cuba align with a robust foreign policy approach. However, in recent years, he's softened his positions to sync with Trump's more restraint-driven global strategy.

Rubio's proposed nomination underscores a significant shift in Republican foreign policy doctrine. It highlights the party's evolution from advocating military intervention to promoting a more restrained foreign approach, especially in Europe. His selection might also consolidate Trump's support among Latino voters, crucial to his recent election victory over Kamala Harris.
