According to the British newspaper The Independent, American and British political sources expect the diplomat to attempt to distance himself from Donald Trump and his foreign policy decisions. Vice-President J.D. Vance is cited as one of Rubio\u2019s potential rivals for the Republican presidential nomination.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Independent reported on Rubio\u2019s possible resignation ahead of the 2028 presidential campaign.<\/li>\n<li>Sources expect him to distance himself from Trump following the Republicans\u2019 defeat in the election.<\/li>\n<li>Incumbent Vice-President J.D. Vance is mentioned as one of Rubio\u2019s potential rivals.<\/li>\n<li>The White House and the US State Department have categorically denied reports of the resignation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Rubio may step down following the Republicans\u2019 defeat<\/h2>\n<p>According to the publication, the possibility of resignation <strong>Marco Rubio<\/strong> had been discussed in political circles in Washington and London even before the mid-term elections on 3 November.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Republicans\u2019 loss of control of both houses of Congress, expectations of possible personnel changes within the administration <strong>Trump<\/strong> have intensified.<\/p>\n<p>One of The Independent\u2019s high-ranking sources within the British Government stated that he does not expect Rubio to remain in office for long after the election. In his view, the Secretary of State may be considering standing in the next presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Another source within the Republican Party has suggested that several more senior officials may leave the administration. The reason cited is not only the outcome of the vote, but also the prospect of increased parliamentary scrutiny from the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, no official decision regarding Rubio\u2019s resignation has yet been announced.<\/p>\n<h2>Rubio wants to distance himself from a war with Iran \u2014 sources<\/h2>\n<p>Those interviewed by the publication cite one of the reasons for a possible change in Rubio\u2019s political strategy as <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/politics\/tramp-iran-naftova-kryza-vybory-ssha\/\">a war between the US and Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to them, the Secretary of State may attempt to distance his own political reputation from the Trump administration\u2019s decisions, which have caused discontent amongst some American voters.<\/p>\n<p>A source in Washington claims that, with a view to a future presidential campaign, it would be in Rubio\u2019s best interests to leave the government and establish an independent political stance.<\/p>\n<p>The Independent also points out that, of late, the Secretary of State has played a less prominent role in certain key foreign policy issues than one might expect of the head of US diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the President\u2019s special envoy played a significant role in the negotiations aimed at bringing the Russian-Ukrainian war to an end <strong>Steve Witkoff<\/strong> \u0456 <strong>Jared Kushner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the claim that Rubio intends to distance himself from Trump is based on the assessments of anonymous sources, rather than on a public statement by the Secretary of State himself.<\/p>\n<h2>J.D. Vance could be Rubio\u2019s rival in the 2028 election<\/h2>\n<p>Should he decide to stand for election, Rubio will have to fight for the Republican Party\u2019s presidential nomination.<\/p>\n<p>One of the potential contenders in this race is the current US Vice-President <strong>JD Vance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Both politicians have extensive experience in federal government and have close ties to the current administration. At the same time, their potential presidential campaigns may be based on different political approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio had already taken part in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries. At the time, he was one of Donald Trump\u2019s rivals, but later became his political ally.<\/p>\n<p>A return to the race for the White House will require the Secretary of State to put together a separate campaign team, secure funding and take part in the party primaries.<\/p>\n<p>At present, neither Rubio nor Vance has officially announced their candidacy for the 2028 election.<\/p>\n<h2>The White House and the State Department have denied reports of a resignation<\/h2>\n<p>Donald Trump\u2019s administration reacted sharply to the article published in *The Independent*.<\/p>\n<p>White House Spokesperson <strong>Davis Ingle<\/strong> He dismissed the reports of a possible resignation as unfounded speculation and stated that the President\u2019s team continues to work together.<\/p>\n<p>The US State Department also dismissed the publication\u2019s report. Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson described the report as inaccurate and cast doubt on the information provided by anonymous sources.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, one of The Independent\u2019s sources, who is familiar with the situation within the administration, said he had seen no signs that Rubio was being prepared for dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary of State himself stated back in September that he had no plans to stand for president and was fully focused on carrying out his current duties.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Rubio\u2019s possible departure from the administration remains, for the time being, the subject of media reports and political speculation, rather than a confirmed personnel decision.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0414\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0441\u0435\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0442\u0430\u0440 \u0421\u0428\u0410 \u041c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u043e \u0420\u0443\u0431\u0456\u043e \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435 \u043f\u0456\u0442\u0438 \u0443 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u043a\u0443 \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0440\u0430\u0437\u043a\u0438 \u0420\u0435\u0441\u043f\u0443\u0431\u043b\u0456\u043a\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0456\u0457 \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u043c\u0456\u0436\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0432\u0438\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0430\u0445 \u0434\u043e \u041a\u043e\u043d\u0433\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0443, \u0449\u043e\u0431 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u043f\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0433\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0432\u043a\u0443 \u0434\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u043a\u0430\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457 2028 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443. \u0417\u0430 \u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u0431\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0432\u0438\u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f The Independent, \u0430\u043c\u0435\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0456 \u0442\u0430 \u0431\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0456\u0442\u0438\u0447\u043d\u0456 \u0434\u0436\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043b\u0430 \u043e\u0447\u0456\u043a\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c, \u0449\u043e \u0434\u0438\u043f\u043b\u043e\u043c\u0430\u0442 \u0441\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0431\u0443\u0454 \u0434\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0446\u0456\u044e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0441\u044f \u0432\u0456\u0434 \u0414\u043e\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044c\u0434\u0430 \u0422\u0440\u0430\u043c\u043f\u0430 \u0442\u0430 \u0439\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0437\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0456\u0448\u043d\u044c\u043e\u043f\u043e\u043b\u0456\u0442\u0438\u0447\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0440\u0456\u0448\u0435\u043d\u044c. \u0421\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u043b\u0438\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u0443\u043f\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0420\u0443\u0431\u0456\u043e \u0437\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0443 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":36062,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u041c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u043e \u0420\u0443\u0431\u0456\u043e \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0448\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0430\u0434\u0443 \u0434\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0441\u0435\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0442\u0430\u0440\u044f \u0421\u0428\u0410 \u0437\u0430\u0440\u0430\u0434\u0438 \u0432\u0438\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0456\u0432 2028 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443.
