This Week in the Office of Senator Marco Rubio
This past week, I joined Senators Jerry Moran (R-KS), John Thune (R-SD), and Richard Burr (R-NC) on an official trip to conduct oversight of United States Government programs and discuss regional issues in the Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Read more here.
On Wednesday, I published an op-ed in RealClearPolitics discussing China’s mishandling of the coronavirus and its inability to serve as a responsible global power. Read the full article here.
Last Friday, I joined Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Senate colleagues in raising concerns with Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly over proposed acquisition shortfalls in Fiscal Year 2021 for the Virginia-class submarine program, which could negatively impact both the United States’ undersea superiority and the submarine industrial base.
