Rubio: Congressional elections will not change Trump's foreign policy strategy

The president's role remains decisive

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasised that the results of the midterm elections to Congress will not cause a change in the administration's foreign policy course. According to him, President Donald Trump will continue to play the main role in shaping US strategy.

Rubio made these comments to journalists after the conclusion of the meeting of the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) countries in Paris.

The legislative body's powers

The US Secretary of State acknowledged that Congress has tools to influence foreign policy, particularly through funding mechanisms and oversight of the executive branch's activities. However, as Rubio noted, the final say in making key decisions remains with the head of state.

Washington's priorities

Rubio also confirmed President Trump's intentions to achieve the resolution of conflicts with Iran, as well as between Russia and Ukraine. At the same time, the Secretary of State emphasised that Washington will continue to be guided by the principle of "America First".
