Trump appoints Rubio head of US effort to secure 2035 World Expo

President Trump appointed Miami native Marco Rubio to lead the U.S. bid for World Expo 2035, promising thousands of jobs and billions in economic growth, officials said.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced the United States will bid for World Expo 2035 in Miami and appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to chair the effort, saying it will create thousands of jobs and add Billions of Dollars in growth.
  • The selection timeline notes the 2035 selection will occur after Saudi Arabia hosts in 2030 and requires years of lobbying plus multibillion-dollar commitments, with the Paris-based International Exhibitions Bureau’s more than 180 member states voting.
  • Marco Rubio already carries multiple roles including acting national security adviser and acting archivist while leading the State Department, but he has not publicly commented, though social media reacted.
  • Miami will face competition from San Francisco and Berlin, as the bid announcement followed Trump's Davos meetings amid critics questioning Expos' relevance during global tensions.
  • Historically, World Expos have showcased innovations like the telephone and x-ray, with last year's Osaka Expo featuring roughly 160 countries and welcoming 27 million visitors.
