JAKARTA - United States President Donald Trump hinted that the incumbent Vice President JD Vance could be his successor in the 2028 US elections, calling incumbent Foreign Minister Marco Rubio a suitable companion.

President Trump on Tuesday hinted that Vice President Vance "most likely" will be his successor as a presidential candidate from the Republican Party in the upcoming elections.

"Well, I think it's very likely," President Trump told reporters when asked if Vance was the successor to the movement he had inspired, MAGA (Make America Great Again).

"To be honest, he is vice president," he said.

Furthermore, President Trump also proposed that Vance and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio join forces to get a Republican ticket in the future.

Although the 2028 presidential election is still far away, Trump has considerable influence on the Republican base. Any sign that he supports a candidate has significant implications.

President Trump has previously refused to provide any support for his successor in 2028. He said in February Vance was "very capable" but it was too early to call him a leading candidate.

Vance, a former 40-year-old Marine, has made up an important role in the Trump administration, serving as key diplomat and key representative marketing Trump's domestic policies at home and foreign policy abroad.

Rubio, a former Florida senator, emerged as an important figure in the government who has spent a lot of time dealing with the complicated dilemma of foreign policy.

He is the first person since Henry Kissinger who served as foreign minister and national security adviser.
