US President Donald Trump decided to give the positions of Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz – these politicians belong to the hawkish wing of the party and are more likely to support Ukraine than Classic Trumpists.

Details: It is reported that Florida Senator Marco Rubio, vice chairman of the Intelligence Committee, who is also a senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee, will be named head of the State Department, that is, the US foreign policy department.

Direct speech from Florida Senator Rick Scott: “He (Rubio) will restore America’s leadership in the world.”
Details: The future Secretary of State must be confirmed by Congress next year. At the same time, the publication confirms that, with the choice made and the fact that Trump will control both boards, there will be no problems with this personnel decision.
He voted for the Ukraine 2024 aid package and insisted on the importance of supporting it, even publicly criticism of other members of the party for doubting the need to help Ukraine. Recently he has changed his rhetoric a bit ways to end the war, but he remains in the more pro-Ukraine Republican camp.
Congressman Mike Waltz, who is also elected from Florida, should be national security adviser.
Voltz, like Rubio, is known for his hawkish foreign policy views, which are very different from the public position of the president-elect. He is the son of Cuban immigrants who built his profile on supporting the overthrow of authoritarian governments around the world.
As “European Truth” said, Waltz is a US Army veteran and the first Green Beret (US Special Operations Forces) to be elected to Congress.
Waltz has experience as a consultant to the Pentagon and also worked in the defense department as a manager for a DoD contractor. In the House of Representatives, he aims to oppose China and reduce dependence on Chinese resources and is considered one of his harshest critics in the Republican Party.
Despite his lack of experience in the Trump administration, Waltz maintains a friendly relationship with him – mainly because Waltz has strongly defended the former president during his appearances on Fox News – and advises him on national security issues.
He advocates continued aid to Ukraine, but with an emphasis on controlling the spending of American taxpayers’ money.
