💨 Abstract
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will testify before Congress this week, facing scrutiny from lawmakers, some of whom regret confirming him due to his alignment with President Trump. Rubio, who was unanimously confirmed, promised an "America First" foreign policy. Critics accuse him of slashing foreign aid and reducing State Department staff. Key topics of questioning include U.S. sanctions on Syria, immigration policies, aid to Palestine, and efforts to counter China’s influence.
