Marco Rubio takes on key foreign policy role and meets with international officials

Marco Rubio, the Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, has been appointed by President Donald Trump to chair a council focused on peace efforts for the Gaza Strip. This marks a notable shift for Rubio, who was once a critic of Trump but is now a key ally.

In his role, Rubio has been active in diplomatic talks. He met with Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal, in Washington. He also held discussions with Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and German politician Johann Wadephul on various international issues.
