U.S. Signals Possible Intervention as Iran Faces Deadly Unrest

U.S. President Donald Trump attends a press conference, as he makes an announcement about the Navy's "Golden Fleet" at Mar-a-lago in Palm Beach, Florida, U.S., December 22, 2025. Protests across Iran have intensified amid deepening economic turmoil, prompting a forceful warning from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump's Pick of Rubio as Top Diplomat Jolts Latin America

 

President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Senator Marco Rubio as the next Secretary of State has sent shockwaves through Latin America, a region long accustomed to U.S. neglect. Rubio, a staunch conservative and vocal critic of communist regimes, is expected to bring a renewed focus on Latin American policy, which has often been sidelined in U.S. foreign affairs.

Rubio's appointment marks a significant shift in U.S. diplomacy. As the first Latino Secretary of State, he is poised to leverage his deep understanding of the region and his personal connections to drive U.S. policy. His reputation as a national security hawk and his support for Trump's hardline immigration policies are likely to influence his approach to issues such as trade, drug trafficking, and migration.

While some Latin American leaders welcome the attention, others are wary of Rubio's polarizing rhetoric and his alignment with Trump's "America First" agenda. Critics argue that his stance could alienate U.S. allies in the region and complicate diplomatic relations.

As Rubio prepares to take on his new role, the world watches closely to see how his leadership will reshape U.S. engagement with Latin America and address the challenges facing the region.
