Donald Trump is expected to name Florida Senator Marco Rubio as his secretary of state, according to US media reports. Mr Rubio, who would be the first Latino to hold the role, was arguably the most hawkish option on Mr Trump's shortlist for secretary of state. The new administration will confront a world more volatile and dangerous than it was when Mr Trump first took office in 2017, with wars now raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. By selecting Mr Rubio for a key policy role, Mr Trump may help consolidate gains among Latinos and make clear that they have a place at the highest levels of his administration.
