Rubio Slams Rwanda's Congo Violations, Restores Times New Roman at State Department

Secretary of State Marco Rubio sharply criticized Rwanda on Saturday for violating the recent peace agreement with the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to Reuters, Rubio stated on X that Rwandas actions in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo are a clear violation of the Washington Accords signed by President Trump, and the United States will take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept. Arab News reports that the top United States diplomat said Rwanda clearly violated the peace pact signed just last week in Washington, even as a Rwanda-backed M23 rebel advance threatens regional stability. The leaders of Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda had inked the deal on December 4 amid ongoing fighting. Rubio also directed a policy shift at the State Department by ordering a return to Times New Roman font for all official documents. Scripps News reports that this reverses a 2023 Biden administration change to Calibri, which was recommended by diversity and disability groups. A cable to United States diplomatic posts, as noted by The New York Times, aims to restore decorum and professionalism to the departments written work. Bloomberg confirms Rubio issued the memo on December 9. In visa policy, the State Department under Rubio expanded vetting for H-1B applicants. The Presidential Prayer Team reports that applicants and their H-4 dependents must now switch all social-media profiles to public for an online presence review, treating every visa adjudication as a national security decision. Critics question Rubios approach. Indepth News argues his neocon worldview undermines Trumps peace efforts in places like Ukraine, Gaza, and Latin America, including pushing toward conflict with Venezuela.
