"I tell you he will be remembered as the best Secretary of State in the history of this country. Marco Rubio... I don't want him to become too popular, but it's true," Trump stated during a public address.
The president emphasized the work of the U.S. Secretary of State and his role in various international issues currently facing the administration.
Trump has also hinted that Rubio could play a key role in Washington's policy toward Cuba.
During an event at the White House, the president suggested on Thursday that the situation on the island could become one of the next major issues for his Secretary of State.
Your next project will be Cuba,” Trump said regarding Rubio, in a comment that garnered attention among analysts and on social media.
