Trump Cabinet takes shape

Marco Rubio expected to be secretary of state
-
President-elect Donald Trump is expected to tap US Senator Marco Rubio to be his secretary of state, sources said on Nov 11, putting the Florida-born politician on track to be the first Latino to serve as America's top diplomat once the Republican president-elect takes office in January.
Senator Rubio was arguably the most hawkish option on Trump's shortlist for secretary of state. He has in years past advocated for a muscular foreign policy with respect to America's geopolitical foes, including China, Iran and Cuba. Over the last several years, however, he has softened some of his stances to align more closely with Trump's views.
The President-elect accuses past US presidents of leading America into costly and futile wars and has pushed for a more restrained foreign policy.
While the famously mercurial Trump could always change his mind at the last minute, he appeared to have settled on his pick as at Nov 11, according to the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.
