Marco Antonio Rubio (born May 28, 1971) is a Statesian politician who has served as the 72nd United States Secretary of State since January 2025 under the second Trump administration.[1] Rubio has also served as the acting national security advisor since May 2025 and acting archivist of the United States since February 2025. He previously served as a senator for Florida from 2011 to 2025 and attempted to run for president in 2016.[2]
Since gaining the role of national security advisor Rubio has focussed on that role rather than the state department. His recent policies have focussed on imperialism in Latin America, particularly against Venezuela and Cuba, and he has been largely excluded from a role in other imperial projects.[3] Rubio has connections to drug dealers and has gained the nickname Narco Rubio for it.[4] He has supported U.S. funding for Ukraine and Israel.[2]
Congress[edit | edit source]
Since the beginning of his political career in 2000, Rubio has threatened enemies of the U.S. with coups, sanctions, and war. In 2019, he cosponsored a Senate resolution that condemned a UN Security Council resolution saying that Zionist settlements violated international law.[5] In the same year, during an attempted U.S. coup against Nicolás Maduro, Rubio tweeted images of Gaddafi's murder.[4]
Family[edit | edit source]
Rubio's brother-in-law, Orlando Cicilia, spent 12 years in prison for smuggling and distributing cocaine. After Cicilia's release, Rubio used his political position to make Florida give Cicilia a real estate license.[4]
