«Placing our core national interests above all else is not isolationism,» Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. «It is the commonsense realization that a foreign policy centered on our national interest is not some outdated relic.»
«The postwar global order is not just obsolete; it is now a weapon being used against us,» Rubio said.
It's a remarkable opening salvo from Rubio, who was born in Miami to Cuban immigrants and who, if confirmed, would become the first Latino to serve as the nation's top diplomat.
The confirmation hearing begins a new chapter in the political career of the 53-year-old Florida Republican, whose relationship with Trump has evolved over the last decade. Once rivals trading schoolyard insults as they campaigned for president in 2016, the two men became close allies as Trump campaigned for another White House term last year.
