Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined a new "America First" foreign policy, emphasizing secure borders, balanced trade, and a recalibrated approach to international relations. This agenda prioritizes American interests through initiatives like increased defense spending from NATO allies, an aggressive stance against China's influence, and a significant reorganization of State Department foreign aid, redirecting funds from what are deemed "ideological causes."
