Following Tradition? Marco Rubio Shares Special Taj Mahal Moment With Wife Jeanette WATCH


(MENAFN- Live Mint) US Secretary of State Marco Rubio shared a special moment with his wife, Jeanette Rubio, at the Taj Mahal, Agra, on Monday morning. Rubio's visit to Agra is part of his four-day trip to India.

As is almost customary for every visitor at the Taj Mahal, the Rubios sat on the iconic bench for a picture right in front of one of the seven wonders of the world.

Rubio described his experience at the Taj Mahal as“beautiful”.

The bench has been shared by several foreign dignitaries over the years, including US Vice President JD Vance, who visited the monument most recently.

US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor also posed for a photograph in front of the Taj Mahal.

Last year, Vance visited the Taj Mahal with his wife, Usha Vance and their children Vivek, Mirabel and Ewan.

Over the years, the Taj Mahal has also been visited by several other global leaders in the past, including former US President Donald Trump, who toured the monument during his first term as President, along with First Lady Melania Trump.

During his visit, Trump said,“Taj Mahal inspires awe, a timeless testament to the rich and diverse beauty of Indian culture! Thank you, India.”

Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, combining Persian, Indian and Islamic design elements. In 1983, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and described as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage," according to its official website.

What's next for Rubio
