Marco Rubio

2024 - 11 - 12

Trumpin tiimi saa uuden kasvot, ja se on Marco Rubio!

Donald Trump - Floridan senaatti - Israel - Kiina - Marco Rubio - Ulkopolitiikka - Yhdysvaltojen hallinto

Marco Rubio nousee Trumpin tiimissä, ja maailma pysähtyy hetkeksi! Mitä tämä tarkoittaa kansainväliselle politiikalle?

Presidentti valittuna Donald Trump näyttää olevan valitsemassa Floridan senaattoria Marco Rubioa ulkoministeriksi, mikä on suuri uutinen sekä Yhdysvalloissa että ympäri maailman. Rubio, joka tunnetaan vahvasta pro-Israel -kannastaan, olisi ensimmäinen latino, joka ottaa tämän arvostetun aseman. Tämä nimitys saattaa mullistaa Yhdysvaltojen ulkopolitiikan suuntaa, kun Rubion hawkish-vaihtoehtoinen linja voi merkitä kiristyviä suhteita moniin maihin, erityisesti Euroopassa.

Rubion nimittäminen ei ole ainoa mielenkiintoinen uudistus Trumpin hallinnossa. Muita mahdollisia nimityksiä ovat Michael Waltz kansallisen turvallisuuden neuvonantajana, joka myös tunnetaan tiukasta linjastaan. Yhdessä Rubion kanssa he muodostavat hallituksen, joka pikemminkin edustaa neokonservatiivista linjaa kuin aiempaa eristyneisyyttä. Tämä muutos herättää kysymyksiä siitä, mihin suuntaan USA:n ulkopolitiikka on menossa ja millaisia päätöksiä tulemme todistamaan tulevina kuukausina.

Lisäksi on huomionarvoista, että Rubio oli yksi harvoista republikaanisista senaattoreista, joka vastusti huhtikuussa 2023 esitettyä 95 miljardin dollarin asepakettia Ukrainalle. Tämän rahan käytön vastustaminen voi kertoa Rubion kehittyneistä näkemyksistä kansainvälisestä turvallisuudesta. Hänen kantansa on myös osittainen syy siihen, miksi hänen nimitään ulkoministeriksi on huolenaihe monille, erityisesti Euroopan maille. Rubion hallintotapa, johon kuuluu vahva tuki Israelille ja kriittinen suhtautuminen Venäjään, saattaa aiheuttaa kitkaa varsinkin nykyisten geopolitiikkajen vuoksi.

Asianomaisten asiantuntijoiden mukaan Rubion valinta saattaa johtaa entistä tiukempaan linjaan Kiinaa kohtaan, mikä on tullut yhä tärkeämmäksi kysymykseksi USA:n ja Kiinan suhteiden kiristyessä. Monet analyytikot ovat huolissaan siitä, että Rubion kaltainen hawkish-asenne voi pahentaa jo ennestään tulenarkoja tilanteita. Olipa tilanne mikä tahansa, Trumpin valinta ja Rubion mahdollinen suoritus ministerinä tulevat varmasti vaikuttamaan kansainväliseen politiikkaan ikimuistoisesti.

**Hauska fakta:** Marco Rubio on myös tunnettu puheistaan ja retoriikastaan, ja hän on saanut leikillisen lempinimen "puheiden mestari" sen vuoksi, että hän osaa tehdä vaikeista asioista ymmärrettäviä tavalliselle kansalle.

**Lisäksi:** Rubion intressit eivät rajoitu pelkästään politiikkaan; hän on innoissaan myös teknologiasta ja on ollut mukana keskusteluissa Yhdysvaltojen innovaatioiden edistämisestä. Tämä voi tuoda uudenlaista ajattelua myös ulkoministerin tehtävään!
