WASHINGTON: US Vice President JD Vance has administered the oath of office to Marco Rubio as the new US secretary of state, the White House press pool reported.
"Vance this morning swore in Marco Rubio as the new US Secretary of State," the report says.
The US vice president described Rubio as a "conservative of great principle and great vision."
He said that Rubio "more than almost anybody that I've met in Washington <…> understands the distinctive priorities of President Trump."
On Monday, the Senate voted unanimously to confirm Sen. Marco Rubio as the new US secretary of state.
During his confirmation hearings in the Senate last week, Rubio, 53 said questions of Kiev’s neutral status and the possible easing of anti-Russian sanctions would ultimately be on the agenda of any Ukrainian conflict settlement talks. Easing of anti-Russian sanctions may also be on the table, he added. In his opinion, under no circumstances can Ukraine push Russian troops back to positions they held before Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine.
