I was very skeptical of Rubio, but honestly, I’m impressed with his no nonsense, yet respectful, demeanor so far.
same, very diplomatic
And his sense of humor!!
He is full of it!!…how can you say that, he lacks humility, he is a pompous creep!!
You will not understand what Maga is doing till it is to late.you will realize Maga is on the wrong path when you loose your job.
@@bkrpb3DDa4G3kzELoQGt He is going to do what Trump wants, he’s not a Panamanian buddy!
Rubio is awesome. I love listing to him. Proud to have a Cuban-American representing the US!
I wish we can watch video what Panama president came up with answer to US demands

He is a great speaker. Very natural.
But he didn’t say anything meaningful!
@@petebarnett8113 Exactly....
@@petebarnett8113 He didn`t have to do it, he didn`t go there to promote himself ..He went to the American Embassy to give instructions which is his job. 🙄

not seen a SEC. talking to the staff.This is Refreshing.
Very Appreciated and Impressive 🇺🇸
Good humour and a good understanding of his role and that of America. A pleasure to listen to you speak
he is a good kindergarten teacher.
I couldn't agree more! Very likeable human being.
Someone Please Contact the USA Department Of State and tell them to eliminate or reduce the "USA Citizenship Renunciation Fee of 2,350.00"
Such a great speaker and a down to earth person who will work for the people....
Yes, down to earth, natural, highly competent, no show off, he does not need to show off, he is great
I feel that with Secretary Rubio being bi-lingual it will be of great importance for the U.S. in Central and South America.
unless a border patrol doesn't recognized him then let him speak another langues I hear it's cause for inspection.
Of course, Trump is using him as a Puppet and Troll, just because he’s Bilingual and can get to the Spanish speaking countries.

What a prize this man is! He is so classy. Flipping to Spanish on a dime to show respect to those with whom he is trying to connect.

What an awesome statesman, thank you sir.
Dude he is SO good. Too good.
Where was this energy in 2018? This man has quite a future
@@allanm2064 People are still not seeing what he is trying to do, wake up! He is Trump’s puppet!
That was my thinking. He seems really terrific right now.
The Trump effect. Republicans are getting more courage and confident because we're winning.
Being a Sec of State can benefit a person greatly if they decided to run for POTUS one day, because they would have an international diplomacy experience under them...I wouldn't be surprise in 2028 the two final candidate for the republicans is JD and Marco..
@@pallen49he blows JD out of the water.
A genuine leader!
Marco Rubio, Great job, God bless you and your family. 😇🌹🌹🌹
Such a kind and thoughtful man.
I just LOVE Marco Rubio! I'm so happy for him to have this position! Heavenly appointed!
He is terrific , we all love him
once the ultra maga fire dies out, a moderate like him will be president. Im not against anyone. but a cuban president would be glorious. no better champion for democracy.
The most qualified U.S Secretary of State 🇺🇸
US planned on spending time in the Americas. Be helpful in migration making other countries great again too.
Big difference from Killary Krapham Klinton. Killary loves having noted positions of power, but is totally incompetent and negligent in all the positions she’s held.
Ha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
NOT A CHANCE
HILLARY CLINTON WAS 1000 TIMES BETTER THAN MARCO RUBIO. REMEMBER WHAT MARCO SAID ABOUT TRUMP WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. I'LL CLUE YOU IN. HE SAID TRUMP IS A LIAR AND A NARCISSIST THE LIKES THAT NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN. MY OH MY HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED
Great job Marco. We are proud of you and your service in favor of the people of the USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Secretary Rubio, sir you are so very refreshing- good luck
Not surprising Rubio and Trump flocks together as in birds of same feather, great sense of humor and very enjoyable to watch. Great work Secretary of State Mark Rubio
Wonderful speech
America 🇺🇸 💪🏼
America is not a country
Rubio is awesome , gives hope to every children to work hard to reach success
I voted for Rubio when he ran for the Republican Primaries, I think he would make a great President!
We have so many amazing candidates for 2028 presidential election and Dems have none but clowns.
@@hker2581 True, but if trump doesn't do good for 4 years that won't matter and we will lose 2026&2028.
@@hebrewhammer4086 it’s not looking good for Trump. These tariffs are insane.
@Foolofatook889 we will see. The tariff on Mexico is understandable but the one on Canada is a little... Weird.
I'm a Socialist but. The DNC is dead. And I would love to see Tulsi Gabbard be the first female president
Thanks! Marco Rubio. We Americans love you and your family. Thanks! For your Goodwill.
Wonderful job Marco
I'm Indian and watching this from afar.
Excellent choice of Secretary of State and appropriate successor to the first secretary, Thomas Jefferson.
Indian troll here
What a relief to finally have a astute articulate and knowledgeable Secretary of State.

When I visited Panama, in 1986, it was very enjoyable experience. Visited Fort Clayton, as an Army Reservist, to resolve an issue, and the soldiers there were very helpful and friendly. I had worked in Spanish speaking countries just enough by that time to be able understand and visit with people using either English or Spanish, which was fun.
Coming home?
Thank you for your service
plz tell us more, and hype urself a little bit this time. most people that serve don't mention every time they post something online....
Down to earth and relatable.. he connects to people
I am so impressed with Marco Rubio and happy that he has been placed in this position. He will do a GREAT job!
jesus, another dope
He will only do what Trump allows him to do!
Little marco will do what his mob boss wants him to do and no more.
As long as he follows orders.
The secretary of state was never the director nor clandestine operative to direct military operations historically. Like a fact check person, like Bush denying facts in his fiction 911.
Mr. Rubio I pray you stay committed and enthusiastic to continue the Revolution that is undoubtedly underway.
Great choice for Secretary of State.
Marco already killin it! 👍
Good Luck with Your New Position. God Bless.
That is beautiful. I am so glad Marco Rubio is SOS. He's very smart, clearly very likeable, he has more common sense in his little finger than some have in their whole body, he loves the USA and he respects President Trump. What more could we ask for in a SOS? Thank you very much Marco!
Very well said, he is a natural, highly competent in his new position, down to earth and humble, that’s the way to go.I can’t stand those show offs. Bless you Marco, we love you

i remember feeling like i was always the one fading into the background while others stood out effortlessly. it was frustrating and made me doubt myself a lot. then i came across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it showed me things i’d never even considered. it’s not just a self-help book; it’s like a guide to understanding your own energy and using it to connect with people. if you’ve ever felt like you’re not seen, this book might change everything.

An actual bilingual Secretary of State!
That makes up for his ill intent huh? Smooth over the words of our shit talking president 🙄

Nice to have a competent secretary of state
@@robertmorris4516 You sound racist! (Competent) really?🤔 Why can’t you just refer to him as Bright?🤨
Secretary Rubio is the right pick for Secretary of the United States. A very, very long time coming!
please Rubio stay peaceful🙏🏼
The number of people who died building the Panama Canal is estimated to be between 22,000 and 30,000. The death toll was high due to disease, dangerous working conditions
During the construction of the Panama Canal, it is estimated that around 25,000 workers lost their lives in total, combining both the French (1881-1894) and American (1904-1914) phases.
• French phase (1881-1894): Approximately 22,000 workers died, primarily due to diseases like malaria and yellow fever, as well as work-related accidents.
• American phase (1904-1914): Around 5,600 deaths were reported, although conditions improved thanks to sanitary measures implemented by the Americans.
As for American workers, it is estimated that approximately 700 lost their lives during the U.S. phase of the construction. However, the vast majority of the victims were Afro-Caribbean workers recruited from islands like Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad, who endured the harshest conditions.
So, if the argument is that the Panama Canal should belong to those who sacrificed the most lives during its construction, then perhaps the United States isn’t exactly the country with the strongest claim. Instead, maybe the nations whose citizens paid the highest price should be the ones making that argument.
ACTUALLY IT WAS 38,000 PEOPLE THAT DIED OVER TIME
Byt only 500 americans so the lies just never stop with you guys.
@@realitywave😂 slavery was ended 50 years before the construction of the canal.
The people who died and worked on the canal were slaves from the Caribbean. You actually think white men build the canal? LOL.
A genuine leader and a nice guy.. I believe he will work hard for the Panama Embassy as well as the USA.
You know him ?
@@KeenanMitchell Ah liberal tears still not dry! Cry babe cry because we're drill babe drill 😂
@@madhavi_ssng You do know we are drilling more now than ever before but that doesnt change most oil we drill isn't usable in our refineries right? Just repeating things like a parrot.

He's a War Monger
Mike, drop the crack pipe
Let's go Rubio! Us Floridians are proud!!
WOW, what a man,
Que gran diplomatico, empezo super bien
Proud to have Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio is a natural at this. From the start of this conference he has the entire room captivated and at ease. The fact that he’s a Spanish speaker allows him to communicate with our closest allies in a way that many in the position have not been able to do.
Wow! those Cuban roots are showing!! Go Mr. SOS Marco Rubio!! We need and support you!! God Bless America
are you drunk?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haters ^
Viva Panama 🇵🇦 Libre
Rubio is absolutely outstanding
No, he's not. The canal belongs to Panama. President Trump is a scourge on your country and the world.
What an amazing SECRETARY of STATE WE HAVE.. He is most definitely the right person for this Great position!
Beautiful, for a Secretary of State to not only acknowledge those that work for the US Embassy in Panama but to engage and celebrate them in their tongue. This is how a Secretary of State should be.
What about his cocaine dealing brother ?
You mean talk a lot and say nothing. He did nothing it seems.
@@KeenanMitchellyou said, is HIS BROTHER, NOT MARCOS.
@@KeenanMitchell Harris voter still salty?
Yeah it's one thing we know about MAGA it's that they celebrate linguistic diversity.

Excelent Marco Rubio, you are doing a great job. Everywhere you go, your message is clear and honesto. Keep it up, you Will be the next presidente of Usa. Greetigs from Guatemala!
I love and deeply respect Secretary Rubio.
Thank you Mr. Sec of state.
Marco Rubio has great heart and passion and definitely a patriot.
May god have mercy on our souls for what we have done to this world.
Good job 👏
99 to 0 vote ...it's obvious
They all wanted Little Ricky.
It's a great and very impressive start, Mr.Rubio!
A perfect pick
I like him. He has that humor… he is easy to connect.
Panama, Great Place to Be stationed 😎
@PATMCKEON007 Nice place to live too. It's not exactly like living in the states, but it comes pretty close and 1/4 less expensive.
I may have only had a similar climate because with the AF I was on Okinawa.
Oh, sure, sanctioning Panama sounds like a brilliant idea… if the goal is to shoot yourselves in the foot. Let’s see how that would work out for the U.S.:
1. Do you like paying more for everything? Well, get ready.
The Panama Canal handles 5% of global trade, including tons of U.S. goods. But go ahead, sanction us, and watch transportation costs skyrocket while your companies line up to pay extra.
2. Wall Street is going to love this (note the sarcasm).
U.S. banks operate in Panama, handling millions in transactions. If we get sanctioned, guess what? China, Europe, and other markets will gladly take your place. But hey, stick to your plan.
3. Want Panama to move closer to China? This is how you do it.
Panama has been a U.S. ally for decades, but if you start treating us like an enemy, don’t be surprised when we strengthen ties with countries that actually value commercial and diplomatic relations.
4. Oh, and about the goods passing through here…
If the U.S. wants to keep its privileged access to the Canal, maybe they should reconsider whether attacking us is a smart move. Because if shipping companies have to pay more or look for alternative routes, Panama won’t be the one paying the price… you will.
So, if the goal is to make the U.S. spend more, lose influence in the region, and weaken its own economy, then yes, a sanction on Panama is a master plan. Brilliant!
@@ulise0928 EXACTLY 💯% ON POINT 💪
@guillermogouldburn763 , I visit every year 💙 just got back 2 months ago!
Solid. Personable. Seems to know what he's doing and enjoys it. Appears to be in his element.
Be prepared for Panama City to be the Premier Embassy in the Americas.
Secretary Rubio is absolutely excellent in this role. Good communicator and has been training in the mechanisms of the US govt for a long time, so knows how things work and how things can get done.
Secretary Rubio is an excellent choice for this most important position.
@@LAP1050 you’re only saying that because he bent the knees for Trump.
I don't think you understand politics or politicians
Excellent at rolling over for Trump, you mean. Somehow I get the impression that’s the only reason Trump chose him. Rubio lacks the intellectual depth to be a great SoS.

Why are they muting the Spanish. Come on, people, really.

I knew Rubio would be AWESOME!!!!!
For those of us who speak Spanish, please don’t mute the Spanish.
Agreed - should have just subtitled it in english
@@metrorealty7631 it’s because they changed what he said
It's not being "muted" it's being translated.
???
If U, anyone speaks English, what's the point? Anybody in the US can use which ever language they know w/ like fluent others. I'm fine w/ that. It's really imbecilic to make such a point. It's always a matter of contention w/ English that can't be explained, justified, or be condoned. I know for a fact that Sec. Rubio handled this well. But let us not forget our US identity.
@@ShireIOI agree
