U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio helps decipher Trump administration goals

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was among the least controversial cabinet appointments made by President Donald Trump. During this turbulent time in geopolitics, the stature of the former Florida senator is rising, according to Newsweek. It’s a high-stakes role, and for countries like Canada, Rubio has become a kind of interlocutor that helps interpret information coming out of the White House. "He’s under pressure to deliver wins for the administration while also acting as an intermediary who can help allies decipher Trump's motivations,” says Vivek Astvansh, an Associate Professor of Quantitative Marketing and Analytics at McGill Desautels.
