US is not withdrawing from the world, Rubio says during testy hearing in Congress

  • On May 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C., Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration’s foreign policy choices during his first appearance before the Senate panel responsible for foreign relations.
  • The hearing followed Democratic criticisms of budget cuts and refugee program suspensions, with Republicans disputing claims that these moves weaken U.S. Global influence.
  • Rubio emphasized ongoing efforts to broker ceasefires in Gaza, promote Syrian stability, and pursue peace talks involving Iran, Russia, and Ukraine, while stressing U.S. Engagement in Syria is vital to prevent government collapse.
  • He claimed the cuts would improve America's international status and reputation, stating "America is back" after four months of foreign-policy achievements, though many remain inconclusive.
  • The hearing revealed sharp partisan disputes over refugee exemptions for white Afrikaners and concerns that the administration has eroded longstanding foreign-policy investments while promoting secure borders and regional agreements on migrant deportations.
