Large Resignation Wave Hits U.S. State Department as Mark Rubio Assumes Office

Washington:Following Mark Rubio’s appointment as the new U.S. Secretary of State, a significant number of officials have resigned from the U.S. State Department. The shake-up comes after Donald Trump assumed office as the 47th President of the United States, leading to widespread changes within the administration.

Trump’s team had previously requested resignations from several department officers and ambassadors stationed around the world. This mass resignation reflects the transition in leadership and policy direction.

In addition, U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio has held meetings in Washington with the foreign ministers of India, Australia, and Japan, nations often regarded as part of a strategic alliance against China. Rubio has stated that China poses the most significant threat to the United States.

It is noteworthy that Donald Trump officially took the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States just yesterday.
