Madam President, I wanted to speak for a few minutes here on the floor as we finish the business of this work period and we return to our home States for about a week. We will be back here on May 6. At that time, I will continue this…
Marco Rubio
The Public Record
Marco Antonio Rubio is an American politician and attorney currently serving as the junior United States senator from Florida, a position he has held since January 5, 2011. A member of the Republican Party, Rubio has been an influential figure in Florida politics and has focused on issues such as immigration reform, foreign policy, and economic growth. He gained national prominence during his 2016 presidential campaign, where he emphasized a vision for a strong national defense and a robust economy.
It is important that we clearly understand that the administration's promises include things that are new and innovative.
His comments talked about if the United States builds up militarily, there is going to be a counterreaction from China.
We do not just want to be a military power. We want to be an economic and diplomatic one and have influence in the region.
I just hope that this will be reversed because I think it is a terrible precedent and a terrible idea.
every time some of our colleagues or others visit Cuba, one of the first things they get complaints about from the Castro government is the democracy programs.
not only are they antidemocratic, but apparently they felt these programs in the past have been quite effective.
I wanted to ask you about a program that I think enjoys incredible bipartisan support and has been incredibly effective, and that is PEPFAR.
I understand the concept that some of the funds have been moved to the Global Fund and so forth to fight AIDS.
