In addition to serving as Secretary of State, he reminded everyone he is also the interim National Security Adviser, acting USAID administrator, and acting archivist of the National Archives.The remark immediately drew laughter, with President Trump bursting out in amusement at Rubio’s lighthearted take on his heavy workload. The moment underscored both the seriousness of his responsibilities and his ability to keep things human in a high-pressure environment.
