Summary
Trump signed a commission making Marco Rubio his permanent national security adviser after he had filled the job on an interim basis since May 2025.
Rubio will keep serving as secretary of state while running the National Security Council process and acting as a direct line to the president on national security matters.
The dual role puts Rubio in rare company: he is only the second person in U.S. history to hold both jobs at once, after Henry Kissinger in the 1970s.
Rubio said the administration is unified behind Trump, describing a foreign-policy team with "no drama, no games" as he continues to accumulate an unusually broad portfolio.

With one official holding America's top diplomatic posts, could this unprecedented concentration of power completely rewrite international crisis management?
