The Department of State accused the Brazilian justice of leading what it characterized as a political witch hunt against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro creating a culture of persecution and censorship.

He continued to emphasize the United States position on the importance of judicial independence and democratic institutions within Latin America according to Colombia One.Secretary Rubio has also taken decisive action on U. S. diplomatic structure by announcing the closure of the Global Engagement Center a controversial office which had drawn criticism for shifting from counter terrorism to speech suppression. The Rio Times notes this reflects the department’s broader shift in priorities toward transparency and civil liberties.In regard to the Middle East Secretary Rubio publicly criticized French President Emmanuel Macron for his move to recognize Palestinian statehood calling it reckless and warning that it undermines ongoing efforts for peace. Christians United for Israel reported that Rubio believes such decisions could have severe consequences for regional stability.Recent press coverage also highlighted Secretary Rubio’s statements about his career ambitions.
