"For too long, Americans have been fined, harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising their free speech rights," Rubio wrote on X. He emphasized that the policy will apply to foreign officials complicit in censoring Americans, stating that "free speech is essential to the American way of life — a birthright over which foreign governments have no authority."
The Trump administration has been increasing pressure on global allies, particularly in Europe, regarding what they describe as hostility toward free speech. Rubio specifically criticized efforts by foreign governments to pressure U.S. tech companies into adopting global content moderation rules affecting American social media users.
"It is unacceptable for foreign officials to issue or threaten arrest warrants on U.S. citizens or U.S. residents for social media posts on American platforms while physically present on U.S. soil," Rubio stated. He added that it is equally unacceptable for foreign officials to demand that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies that extend beyond their authority and into the United States.
This visa restriction policy continues a trend of recent presidential administrations increasing the use of visa bans against foreign government officials. Such bans are typically instituted on grounds that individuals are engaged in corrupt activities or human rights abuses and often extend to spouses and children of those targeted.
In other diplomatic activities, Rubio has been engaged in international discussions regarding Ukraine and Russia. During an interview on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on May 18, 2025, Rubio discussed the Vatican's offer to host direct meetings between Ukraine and Russia. He noted that the Kremlin had expressed openness to such a meeting under certain conditions.
Rubio has also been addressing U.S. policy toward Iran, which he has described as a "threshold nuclear state." When questioned about U.S. requirements for Iran's nuclear program during the same interview, Rubio acknowledged ongoing discussions between the two countries.
Additionally, on May 21, 2025, Rubio testified before the House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs regarding the FY26 Department of State Budget Request. He later appeared before the Senate Committee on Appropriations on the same matter.
On May 23, Rubio met with Prime Minister Barzani to discuss opportunities to further increase trade relations, indicating the Secretary's continued engagement in diplomatic and economic partnerships.
