Our latest mini series is here and this time we're profiling some of the key players in Donald Trump's presidency, who are now running America. Over the next few weeks, new profiles will drop every Sunday.

We start with Marco Rubio, the one-time presidential hopeful in 2016 who famously fell out with Trump when vying for the Republican nomination. The pair have since patched things up, but how did the man once coined as the Republican Party's equivalent to Barack Obama end up as America's top diplomat, and how has his background as the son of Cuban immigrants shaped his politics today?

HOST:
* Sarah Smith, North America Editor

GUESTS:
* Matt Terrill, Former Chief of Staff, Marco Rubio Campaign 2016
* Nahal Toosi, Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Politico
