Dr. Rand Paul Releases Statement on Secretary of State Nomination of Senator Marco Rubio
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released the following statement shortly after he voted in support of the nomination of Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to be Secretary of State at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee markup. In the statement, Dr. Paul urges the Department of State to prioritize diplomacy over war.
“I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Senator Rubio on his nomination to serve as the 72nd United States Secretary of State. His experience and devotion to our country will be indispensable assets as he assumes the responsibilities of this new role. I intend to support his nomination and wish him all the best.
“I would be remiss, however, if I did not highlight some differences in our policy preferences. It is my sincere hope that a closer examination of the consistent failures of U.S. foreign policy over the past thirty years, committed by both Republican and Democrat administrations, will lead to the adoption of more prudent policies in President Trump’s second term.
