Secretary of State Marco Rubio will testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at 10 a.m. and a House appropriations subcommittee at 2 p.m. on Tuesday regarding the State Department’s fiscal year 2027 budget request, which seeks 30 percent less discretionary spending than the prior year. These appearances mark Rubio’s first congressional testimony since the start of the Iran war. The hearings focus on routine budget review rather than direct examination of the recent conflict or ceasefire terms.
