The Senate voted on Monday to confirm Marco Rubio as President Donald Trump's secretary of state, the first high-level Cabinet official for the new administration to be approved by the chamber. The confirmation vote took place just hours after Trump was sworn in as president. The overwhelmingly bipartisan vote was 99 to 0 with no senators voting against the nomination. Marco Rubio is a staunch advocate for strengthening ties with India. He has long emphasized the importance of India as a strategic partner in countering China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific.
