Marco Rubio will head to Latin America again as Trump prioritizes immigration
August 28, 2025
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is heading back to Latin America next week for visits to Mexico and Ecuador. It will mark his fourth foreign trip in the Western Hemisphere since becoming President Donald Trump’s top diplomat in January. Rubio has already traveled Latin America and the Caribbean twice and to Canada this year. He will return to the region to discuss Trump administration priorities including stemming illegal migration, combating organized crime and drug cartels and countering what the U.S. believes is malign Chinese behavior.
