YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSecretary of state nominee Sen. Marc Rubio on Wednesday refused to rule out the use of military force against Mexican cartels, saying it would be an option available to President-elect Donald Trump.
“That's an option the president has at his disposal,” Rubio said at his confirmation hearing held by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. “President Trump is someone that never publicly discusses his options and leaves himself the flexibility to act. I think there's a lot we can and will continue to do in close partnership with our allies in Mexico.”
Rubio, the senior senator from Florida, was also a one-time Republican presidential hopeful who ran against Trump. A former member of the Senate panel holding his confirmation hearing, Rubio also serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence.
