About this listen
In parallel, the State Department is facing internal challenges after a recent Supreme Court decision paved the way for sweeping federal spending cuts. Hundreds of employees are now bracing for substantial layoffs as Secretary Rubio moves forward with significant reductions. According to NPR, Rubio has initiated deep cuts across the department, and staff uncertainty is mounting as the budget slashes are being implemented rapidly.
Despite these internal and security challenges, Secretary Rubio pushed forward on foreign policy. On July 10, he met with Malaysian Foreign Minister Dato Seri Mohamad Hasan in Kuala Lumpur to sign a memorandum of understanding concerning strategic civil nuclear cooperation. This agreement reflects ongoing US engagement in Southeast Asia and aims to solidify partnerships on clean energy and nuclear technology.
Rubio also delivered remarks at the ASEAN Post Ministerial Conference, signaling the United States’ continued commitment to regional stability and partnership. This was Rubio's first ASEAN Post Ministerial as Secretary of State, and officials cited the increasing complexity of the geopolitical moment, particularly in relation to China and regional security.
In the diplomatic sphere, Secretary Rubio publicly praised the recently negotiated defense deal between the United States and NATO. In an opinion piece published by USAToday.com, Rubio called it a big and beautiful win for America, emphasizing that NATO’s revised posture will allow the alliance to project military, diplomatic, and economic power in ways previously unattainable.
