Trump and Rubio plan to visit oil tanker carrying Venezuelan crude in Texas
Rubio will join Trump as the administration highlights a 1 million-barrel shipment that officials say will be processed at Texas refineries.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit Port Arthur, Texas, to inspect a newly arrived oil tanker filled with Venezuelan crude destined for local refineries.
- The trip demonstrates how Trump's second presidency blurs the lines between official government duties and political activity, as he campaigns across Texas for Republican candidates during the midterm season.
- Trump is using the trip to bolster U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton, who faces a competitive race against Democratic candidate James Talarico, with additional rallies scheduled in Corpus Christi and Lubbock.
- Rubio's involvement marks a departure from his usual duties, as officials noted it is rare for the nation's top diplomat to join political travel, despite his role as national security adviser.
- Attorney General Todd Blanche has also appeared at rallies alongside Republican candidates, reflecting an active effort by the administration to influence the upcoming midterm elections.
