Claiming that American leadership is back in the Western Hemisphere, new U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that President Donald J. Trump is paying closer to the Caribbean and other regional countries in his foreign policy agenda.
“And we’re ready to stand with our regional partners,” said Rubio, a former US senator who was born in Miami to Cuban immigrants, in a Feb. 1 statement. “Putting America First means paying closer attention to our own hemisphere.”
