U.S. Secretary of State in the Trump administration; formerly U.S. Senator from Florida.
We’re in a frankly pretty deep valley right now with this new campaign that Secretary Rubio announced.
The regime has to change. You might not have a regime change, but the regime has to change.
I don’t think the Iranian regime has ever faced a president like President Trump, which is someone that actually takes action.
I think the world has always been complicated and tricky. I think the difference now is if something happens halfway around the world in a place you’ve never heard about before, and it’s really dramatic, you’re going to hear about it…
