-
Geeta Rao Gupta, nominated to serve as Ambassador at Large for Global Women’s Issues, whose nomination Rubio has previously voted against.
Ahead of a Senate Committee on Foreign Relations business meeting, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after placing a hold on the nominations:
-
“One of these nominees has ignored credible sexual assault accusations in his prior office. Another has done legal work with solar panel companies in Xinjiang, where egregious human rights abuses are committed. The list also contains an abortion extremist, someone with no diplomatic or investment experience, and an individual who has suported a policy of engagement with Cuba’s murderous dictatorship. I will not turn a blind eye to these absurd nominations, which will hasten America’s decline.”
