Rubio Reinstates Times New Roman

Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered a return to Times New Roman for correspondence, effective Wednesday.
The move reverses Biden's Calibri usage, which Rubio described as wasteful and unprofessional.
It aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Rubio said the switch cost $145,000.
All official document templates must be updated, except international treaties and presidential appointments which will use Courier New.
