Washington: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has denied reports that he is leaving the Trump administration, saying he has always planned to work with President Donald Trump through the end of his term. In an interview with The New York Times, Rubio said he does not know where the reports are coming from.
Declining to answer questions about his political future, Rubio said he would not discuss the 2028 election any further.
Bloomberg News had claimed on Thursday that Rubio was considering leaving the administration following the Republican Party’s defeat in the midterm elections. According to the report, he had discussed stepping down with White House officials but was asked to stay on. Media reports say Rubio is serving as both secretary of state and national security adviser, and he is considered a potential Republican candidate in the 2028 presidential race.
Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson dismissed the Bloomberg report as completely baseless. He also called baseless a report in the UK’s The Independent claiming that Rubio intends to launch a campaign for the 2028 Republican nomination.
