President Donald Trump has unexpectedly appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio as interim national security adviser, in addition to his current roles as acting administrator of USAID and acting archivist of the United States.
The announcement, which caught even State Department officials off guard, follows Trump's decision to nominate current national security adviser Mike Waltz as ambassador to the United Nations. Rubio's accumulation of high-profile positions has sparked both surprise and mockery, with critics questioning the concentration of power and the administration's staffing choices. The move highlights ongoing turbulence and improvisation within the Trump administration's foreign policy team.
Observers are closely watching how Rubio will juggle these overlapping responsibilities.
