Newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio has paused the Biden administration's refugee operations and is set to ramp up

Donald Trump's former primary opponent Sen. Marco Rubio is meeting with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday as the president-elect's secretary of state nominee.

Former US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was sworn in Monday afternoon as America’s first Cuban American Secretary of State, the 72nd individual to fill the position. The former lawmaker served as a senator for 14 years.

Senator Marco Rubio warned of China’s growing threat, and he backed NATO but said Europe needed to do more to help protect itself. His friendly, five-hour confirmation hearing seemed to all but guarantee he would be the next secretary of state.

Rubio -- long known as a Russia and China hawk in the Senate -- has been accused of dialing back his interventionist foreign policy approach to align with Trump's positions and may face fresh criticism from opponents who believe he might prioritize serving as a yes man to president over serving the country.

The US Senate voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State on Monday, making him the first official in Donald Trump's administration to be approved on his presidential inauguration day. The vote, which came just hours after Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, was unanimous at 99-0.
