The statement appears to conflate roles: Marco Rubio is U.S. Secretary of State (not a senator) as of 2026, and the quoted language resembles statutory certification text (e.g., under the Arms Export Control Act) that a Secretary of State might issue for emergency arms sales. However, the source (aninews.in) is not verifiable here, and the statement lacks specific context (which countries, what sale) to confirm whether Rubio actually made such a determination and provided justification on the specified date. Without primary documentation, the claim cannot be confirmed as literally stated.

Marco Rubio is a U.S. Senator, not the Secretary of State; the Secretary of State is Antony Blinken (as of 2024). Therefore the claim that he, as Secretary of State, made the stated determination is false.

There is no record of Secretary of State Marco Rubio (who is a senator, not Secretary of State) making such a statement; the quote appears to be a misattribution or fabrication.

As of my knowledge cutoff, Marco Rubio was serving as a U.S. Senator from Florida, not as Secretary of State. The statement incorrectly identifies him as Secretary of State.
