President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of State, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, was grilled with questions by a group of bipartisan Senators on Wednesday, where he discussed a plethora of foreign relations issues plaguing the U.S. currently, including the flow of fentanyl and the influence of drug cartels.
