In a significant shake-up within the Trump administration, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has recently been appointed as the interim national security adviser while maintaining his position at the State Department. This dual role appointment comes after President Donald Trump replaced Michael Waltz, who is now being nominated as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

The White House has indicated that Rubio is expected to serve in both capacities for at least six months, with several top Trump advisers reportedly interested in making this arrangement permanent. According to administration officials, this dual appointment is viewed as more than just a temporary solution, with one official stating it "was not established to be a stop-gap solution."

This development marks a remarkable rise for Rubio within the Trump administration. Once mocked by Trump as "Li'l Marco" during their 2016 primary rivalry, Rubio has skillfully gained the president's confidence. Trump now appears to view the former Florida senator as a capable problem-solver, recently stating, "When I have a problem, I call him up. He gets it solved."

Rubio's ascent in Trump's inner circle is particularly noteworthy given initial expectations that he would have a short tenure due to policy disagreements with Trump and his supporters. However, he has successfully navigated the administration by shifting some of his previous policy positions and vocally supporting key Trump agendas.

In his expanded role, Rubio aims to reorient the National Security Council to ensure its outputs "completely align with the president's vision," according to one administration official. His objective is to instill stability in U.S. foreign policy.

Meanwhile, Rubio's State Department has been implementing significant changes. Recent reports indicate his department has decided to terminate nearly 5,800 USAID awards while retaining just over 500. There are also plans to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development and cut U.S. jobs by 15% while closing or consolidating certain operations.

In a modern approach to diplomacy, the State Department under Rubio joined Substack last month, joining other U.S. politicians in exploring new platforms for communication.

As Rubio continues to navigate his expanded responsibilities, he faces the challenge of implementing Trump's "America First" foreign policy while managing complex international relationships during a period of global uncertainty. His performance in this unprecedented dual role will likely shape both his legacy and the trajectory of U.S. foreign policy under the second Trump administration.
