The Trump White House issued an unequivocal condemnation after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to María Corina Machado, the leader of the opposition movement in Venezuela. But Marco Rubio, President Trump’s secretary of state and national security adviser, is a longtime supporter of Machado. In fact, he signed a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee supporting her nomination for the prize.在委內瑞拉反對派運動領導人瑪麗亞·科里娜·馬查多獲得諾貝爾和平獎後，川普政府對此予以了明確譴責。但川普總統的國務卿兼國家安全顧問馬爾科·盧比奧長期以來一直是馬查多的支持者。事實上，他簽署了一封致挪威諾貝爾委員會的信，支持提名她獲得該獎項。
Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, has been confirmed as the 72nd secretary of state in a 99-0 vote. After casting a vote for himself, Rubio gave the Senate clerks a thumbs-up while a small bipartisan group of senators around him applauded.

賴總統恭賀川普勝選 美前國家安全顧問轉發道謝
（中央社記者鍾佑貞棕櫚灘6日專電）總統賴清德今天推文恭賀川普勝選。在川普任內擔任國安顧問的歐布萊恩隨後轉發推文，表示這對美國及其夥伴而言是個偉大的夜晚，感謝賴總統對川普的祝賀。美媒報導，歐布萊恩是川普2.0的國務卿人選之一。
美國總統大選結果底定，前總統川普篤定回鍋白宮。賴總統晚間在X社群平台以英文貼文表示，他有信心，台美之間長期以來的夥伴關係，建立在共享的價值與利益之上，將繼續扮演區域穩定的基石，並且為雙方全體國人帶來更昌盛的經濟繁榮。
歐布萊恩（Robert O'Brien）立場友台，去年獲前總統蔡英文頒授「特種大綬景星勳章」。
他也是川普2.0的國務卿人選之一。美媒Politico上月報導，歐布萊恩是川普第一任期時，4位國家安全顧問中唯一一位沒有與川普公開鬧翻的顧問。
歐布萊恩2018年至2019年間擔任川普的人質事務特使，赴瑞典營救因涉攻擊刑案遭起訴的美國饒舌歌手A$AP Rocky，讓A$AP Rocky雖遭瑞典法院定罪，卻僅需賠償毀損而不用坐牢。
歐布萊恩在共和黨內被視為北大西洋公約組織（NATO）及烏克蘭的支持者，如果他成為國務卿，將會受到歐洲及烏克蘭歡迎。
其他國務卿人選包括友台參議員盧比歐（Marco Rubio）及川普時代的駐日大使海格提（Bill Hagerty）等。
2024年美國總統大選5日舉行投開票，根據美聯社數據，目前川普以292張選舉人票領先，已跨過當選門檻；民主黨總統候選人賀錦麗（Kamala Harris）則獲得224票。（編輯：洪啟原）1131107
I assumed that he would have to drop out in 2016 after the “Access Hollywood” tape. I thought he would be driven into exile after he egged on the Jan. 6 insurrectionists hunting down Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. I thought his cynical move stacking the Supreme Court with religious fanatics who yanked away women’s reproductive rights would doom his comeback attempt. I thought his deranged, nasty, out-of-control final weeks of campaigning would surely sink him.
But Trump never disappeared in a puff of orange smoke. Every time, he bobbed back up, defying convention and luring voters I thought he had lost, given how he, JD Vance and his rally carny barkers delighted in disparaging so many voting blocs with utter abandon.我以為他會在 2016 年《走進好萊塢》錄影帶之後退出。我以為他會在 1 月 6 日慫恿叛亂分子追捕南希·佩洛西和邁克·彭斯後被迫流亡。我認為他憤世嫉俗的舉動將最高法院與剝奪婦女生育權的宗教狂熱分子混為一談，這將使他的東山再起嘗試失敗。我認為他在競選活動最後幾週的瘋狂、骯髒、失控肯定會讓他垮台。
但川普從未消失在一陣橙色煙霧中。每一次，他都會挺身而出，無視慣例，吸引我認為他已經輸掉的選民，因為他、JD萬斯和他的集會狂吠者樂於肆無忌憚地貶低如此多的投票集團。
