El congresista Mario Díaz-Balart felicitó públicamente al presidente Donald J. Trump por las recientes designaciones en su equipo de seguridad y política exterior, y destacó especialmente el nombramiento del Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as interim National Security Advisor.
“Great news! Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump for these excellent decisions for his America First team,” wrote Díaz-Balart in a post on Facebook. “Secretary Rubio has been doing an exceptional job promoting a strong and focused foreign policy, and will offer invaluable experience and advice as National Security Advisor.”
The appointment was officially announced by the president through his account on Truth Social. According to the statement, Rubio will simultaneously maintain his role as Secretary of State, while temporarily taking on the position of National Security Advisor, one of the most influential roles in the White House.
This new appointment positions Rubio as one of the most powerful figures within the presidential cabinet, with direct influence on strategic decisions related to defense, intelligence, and foreign affairs.
"It will now walk through the very heart of the country's most significant security decisions," noted an analyst in local media, emphasizing the political rise of the senator of Cuban descent.
Along with Rubio's appointment, President Trump also announced that he would nominate Congressman Mike Waltz as the new United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
Waltz, a veteran of the army and a former national security advisor, was praised by Trump as “a tireless patriot who has worked hard to put the interests of our nation first.”
Díaz-Balart also expressed his support for this nomination: “Michael Waltz will bring the necessary strength and will be firm with America’s enemies in his new role at the UN. I look forward to continuing to work with both in support of our allies and in defense of the values that make the U.S. an exceptional nation.”
Rubio, 53 years old and the son of Cuban immigrants, was unanimously confirmed as Secretary of State by the Senate early this year, marking a milestone as the first Hispanic to hold this position. His rise within Trump's cabinet reinforces his political influence on the Republican agenda and in the international relations of the United States.
Rubio himself has recently highlighted the achievements of the administration in its first 100 days in office, stating that "Trump has delivered for the American people."
