Description
After a lengthy Cabinet meeting presided over by President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio jokes that this Labor Day is the "most meaningful’" of his life.
And it isn’t because Marco Rubio is secretary of state and working for Trump, as he joked at the Cabinet meeting.
“This is the most meaningful Labor Day of my life as someone with four jobs,” Rubio said. The room erupted in laughter.
In addition to his full-time job as America's chief diplomat, Rubio is also the interim national security adviser, acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development and acting archivist of the National Archives and Records Administration.
Before asking Trump a serious question about visas for international students from China, a reporter said she just had to ask Trump about his reaction to the engagement of Swift and Kelce.
"I wish them a lot of luck. I think he's a great player, and he's a great guy, and I think she's a terrific person," Trump said.
Back in 2024 after Swift endorsed Trump's presidential rival Kamala Harris, the then presidential candidate posted online, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"
The president is standing by his call for surging visas for Chinese students to attend U.S. universities and colleges.
Trump on Monday faced rare pushback from supporters, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, when he said he would allow 600,000 Chinese students into American universities and colleges. That would be more than twice the number of Chinese students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year.
Asked about his comments on increasing student visas for Chinese students, Trump stood his ground.
“I think it's very insulting to say students can't come here because they'll go out and start building schools and they'll be able to survive it,” Trump said. “But I like that their students come here. I like that it that other countries students come here. And you know what would happen if they didn't? Our college system would go to hell very quickly and it wouldn't be the top colleges. It would be colleges that struggle on the bottom.”
