Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been actively shaping U.S. foreign policy across multiple critical fronts in recent days. Currently traveling with President Trump in Switzerland as part of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Rubio is overseeing several major international initiatives that reflect the administration's priorities.

One of the most significant developments involves a new initiative called the Board of Peace for Gaza. Speaking at a signing ceremony in Davos, Rubio announced that many global leaders have already committed to joining this effort, with more expected to participate once they complete their internal constitutional procedures. Rubio expressed confidence that the number of participating countries will grow substantially as the initiative gains momentum.

Looking ahead to February, Rubio will host the State Department's first ever Critical Minerals Ministerial on February 4th. This groundbreaking meeting will bring together international partners to address America's economic and national security concerns regarding the global supply of rare earth elements and other critical minerals. The focus reflects growing anxiety about China's dominant position, as Beijing controls approximately seventy percent of global rare earth production and ninety percent of processing capacity. China also produces eighty percent of the world's tungsten and eighty-five percent of its magnesium.

In a significant recent development, Rubio met with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan on January 13th to announce a new framework called the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, or TRIPP. This implementation framework aims to establish peace in the South Caucasus region through regional economic integration and infrastructure development. The agreement specifies that Armenia will retain twenty-six percent ownership in a development company while the United States receives seventy-four percent, with the potential for Armenia's stake to increase to forty-nine percent after fifty years.

Beyond these initiatives, Rubio has been instrumental in articulating the administration's approach to international institutions. He recently wrote that the United States is withdrawing from numerous international organizations, stating that America is rejecting an outdated model of multilateralism that treats American taxpayers as the world's underwriter. Instead, the administration is prioritizing bilateral agreements and demanding measurable results from institutions it funds.

Rubio is scheduled to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on January 28th regarding U.S. policy toward Venezuela, indicating that regional matters continue to demand significant diplomatic attention.
