Marco Rubio, serving as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, described what he called a series of major foreign policy and national security achievements under the current administration, citing peace agreements, defense commitments from allies, internal reforms, and border-related cooperation with foreign governments.
“Hi. It’s Marco Rubio. I’m the National Security Advisor and the Secretary of State and the archivist right now, the acting archivist for the 47th president of the United States, the best president we’ve ever had. And it’s an honor to be able to do this job,” Rubio said.
Rubio said the administration played a direct role in preventing and resolving multiple international conflicts.
“We have a lot of achievements this year. Let’s help start with the peace deals. One peace deal after another. India, Pakistan are ready to go to war, a very dangerous war. The president stopped it,” Rubio said.
“Cambodia and Thailand. We got that peace deal put in place. Azerbaijan and Armenia, a war that could have started that would have been terrible. We put that into place.”
He also referenced Gaza, saying, “And of course, Gaza, that long war, nobody saw an end to it. The President got involved, brought it to an end, and with a plan for long term stability and security beyond that.”
Rubio said the administration also achieved a major shift among NATO allies during diplomatic engagements in Europe.

“We went to Europe this year, and the President got NATO to do something no president has ever been able to get NATO to do, and that has increased their defense spending to 5%,” Rubio said.
“Just a few years ago, they were at one 2% 5% for all these countries, an incredible achievement by President Trump and his team here.”
Rubio pointed to internal changes at the State Department as another area of progress, specifically addressing foreign aid oversight.
“Beyond that, I’m very proud of the reforms under the President’s leadership that we’ve done at the State Department. We got rid of USAID, we brought all that foreign aid under the State Department, so that now when we give money to countries, we know where the money’s going,” Rubio said.
“And we know we’re helping our allies and our friends and not just enriching some third party group that’s making a bunch of money from your taxpayer dollars.”
He also addressed border-related efforts involving cooperation with foreign governments.
“We also help secure the border. That’s been a responsibility of the Homeland Security Department. But we had a role to play, not just in the deals we made with other countries to send people back,” Rubio said.
“We’ve got more countries than ever accepting their people that are in this country illegally from their countries. They’re taking them back. They’re also helping us stop them from coming here in the first place.”
Rubio said the administration has followed through on commitments related to public safety and drug trafficking.
“So on issue after issue, the President has kept his promise to the American people. He’s keeping us safe by taking the war to the drug cartels, the drug cartels that are poisoning and killing our people,” Rubio said.
“President Trump, he promised to do it, and he’s stopping them. He’s doing it. He’s keeping his promise to you.”
Looking ahead, Rubio said future challenges remain while expressing confidence in the administration.
“2026 is going to bring more challenges, but we have a great president and a great team that he’s built, and we can’t wait to see the exciting achievements of the year to come,” Rubio said.
He closed his remarks by addressing the public directly.
“Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy New Year. To everybody, the best is yet to come.”
