Following discussions at the 2026 ASEAN Summit in Manilla, Philippines, Secretary of State Marco Rubio answers questions from the media on a variety of current issues and events.
Secretary Rubio noted considerable discussions with Chinese officials on the upcoming state visit by Chairman Xi Jinping in September. Additional questions surrounded the ongoing conflict with Iran. WATCH:
.
As President Trump’s doctrine continues to unfold, foreign sovereign policy becomes more important. Secretary Rubio notes the importance of high-level contacts and communication between global powers like USA, China and Russia as things unfold.

Rubio is awesome…speaking truth to idiots.
Remember Winkin, Blinken, and Nod.

Rubio for President
NO… to tooo early to say…
It will be even more “awesome” if he Marco start talk to Russia and to normalize relationship with them …after 17 months he have not done it… meantime he talk to all kind of clowns in the EU/NATO and everywhere…
“Secretary Rubio notes the importance of high-level contacts and communication between global powers like USA, China and Russia as things unfold.”
AKA cutting out the State Dept. career hacks that have screwed things up the past decades.
Rubio performs the Sec of State job marvelously.
Have all doubts about his prior “Gang-of-Eight “misadventure been erased?
Has he truly become America First? Just asking…
I just posted after you and am leaning that way.
Secretary Rubio made his MAGA bonafides clear when he declared in early 2025, without preface or hesitation, that the US government is using Ukraine as a proxy for war with Russia. By doing so he effectively burned all his boats upon arrival at that shore. He has demonstrated powerful loyalty to President Trump and his agenda for America.
At this point I like Rubio more for ’28. His transformation from deep state tool and member of gang of eight seems more sincere than Vance’s from being Peter Thiel’s boy. His judgement seems more internalized, whereas something about Vance seems like he is reading cue cards.
Not really sure at the moment, what do you guys think?
He’s still a tool. His principles move with the wind.
It doesn’t really matter. He can’t win the Rust Belt. The diverse groups that put Trump over the top in ’24 won’t line up behind Rubio. Maybe Vance, but that window is closing too.
Is there anyone else that you think might do a half-decent job?
TULSI GABBARD
A very good possibility, she has shown much courage, though I do not know enough to judge her MAGA bona fides.
I’m not sold on Rubio, but what dem0crat could beat him in 2028?
<ASEAN Summit in Manilla>
Since when did Sean Hannity get his own summit? 🙂
Let me stop you right there.
What an amazing coincidence!
Declassified documents were released-just prior to the ASEAN Summit-laying the blame for election interference on China.
And of course the Corrupt Corporate Media was right on time, grilling Secretary Rubio about dialogue with China over election interference.
If I didn’t know better (sarc) I would think that there is an operation being conducted to blow up talks with China.
Secretary Rubio, to his credit, refused to take the bait. Same is true with President Trump, who will still have a cordial, respectful, productive meeting with Xi in September.
Seems like President Trump has everything under control.
May God continue to bless and protect our great President.
CCP efforts to interfere in US elections couldn’t be effective without the enablers in congress and the IC.
Deftly executed, Mr. Secretary. It must be awful to face the same reporters with the same old hackneyed questions.
The importance of foreign policy can not be overstated. Building up a nation by intelligent trade policy is something totally incomprehensible to those on the Left.
Thank you Sundance, Rubio is loyal, consistent and dedicated to our country.
We’ve never seen him wishy washy, like Mullin.
Clear conviction of our country’s goals and how they are being carried out.
Leadership on display.

Scumbag Thune.
Rubio continues to impress. He definitely projects competence.
Listening to Secretary Rubio’s press briefing in Manila reminded me of JD Vance’s address to the Munich security conference last year, in that America is blessed to have these two men as the potential presidential ticket in ’28 to carry on the policies of President Trump. If I had my druthers, I’d prefer to have Rubio heading that ticket since he’s older than Vance by 13 years and would undoubtedly have more appeal to the Hispanic vote, but I think a private meeting among these two men with Trump at the appropriate time will determine who is willing to accept the veep role.
As our 47th President often says, “We’ll see what happens.”
