On September 22, 2026, during a session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, a humorous moment occurred when U.S. President Donald Trump joked about his Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was sitting next to him. Trump asked, "Where's Marco?", which elicited smiles from the audience.
Discussion of the "Shield of America" Initiative
This incident took place during a meeting dedicated to the "Shield of America" initiative — a coalition of the U.S. and several Latin American countries aimed at combating drug cartels. While emphasizing the importance of this initiative, Trump couldn't resist making jokes about his colleague.
Trump's Plans for Cuba
During his speech, Trump also touched upon the situation in Cuba, noting that things there are not going well. He expressed his intention to "drop" Rubio "in the middle of Cuba," where his parents were born, so that he could sort things out on the island. This remark drew even more smiles from the audience, highlighting the light-hearted atmosphere of the event.
