The Championing American Business through Diplomacy Act of 2019 was passed to \u201cbolster U.S. commercial competitiveness by strengthening U.S. government support of U.S. private sector interests internationally,\u201d according to the State Department\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former President Biden signed off on EDAG with a presidential memorandum in June 2024, making the secretary of State serve as EDAG\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hosting EDAG\u2019s first meeting is the latest of several roles Rubio has taken on since President Trump returned to the White House last year. Rubio also took over as acting national security advisor, becoming the first secretary of State to do so since Henry Kissinger held both roles in 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump made Rubio the acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) before the agency was rendered inoperable in 2025. Trump also made Rubio the acting archivist at the National Archives and Records Administration after the previous archivist was fired. Rubio no longer served this last role as of February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday will hold the Economic Diplomacy Action Group\u2019s (EDAG) first meeting, two years after it was established during the Biden administration.
