跟进：卢比奥为国务院大厅撤换外国国旗辩护：我们不是联合国，这里是美国国务院
美国国务卿卢比奥（Marco Rubio）11月13日在华盛顿联邦主义者协会全国律师大会上发表 Barbara K. Olson 纪念演讲后答问，为国务院大楼主大厅撤下约190面外国国旗、全部换成美国国旗的做法辩护。他说：「我说，不，我们不是联合国。那些旗就让联合国挂去吧。这里是美国国务院。」
国务院主大厅被称为「旗厅」，自1961年大楼启用以来一直悬挂与美国建交的约190个国家的国旗。今年为庆祝美国建国250周年，大厅里的外国国旗全部换成美国国旗，新布置于6月29日由副国务卿 Christopher Landau 公布，250周年活动结束后也没有恢复，招致「美国要抛弃世界」的批评。卢比奥说，他并非一上任就搞一场撤旗运动，旧布置保留了一年半，是为建国250周年才全部换成美国国旗，之后就一直留着。
这与卢比奥2025年1月就任后推行的「一面旗」政策同一脉络：当时国务院规定美国国内外机构只准悬挂或展示美国国旗，仅囚战者与失踪者旗、被错误拘押者旗为例外，驻外使领馆悬挂彩虹旗等旗帜的做法就此结束。

Follow-Up: Rubio Defends Replacing Foreign Flags at State Department: 'We're Not the United Nations'
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on November 13 defended replacing about 190 foreign flags in the State Department's main lobby with American flags, during a question-and-answer session after his Barbara K. Olson Memorial Lecture at the Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention in Washington. 'I said, no, we're not the United Nations,' Rubio said. 'Take the flag; the United Nations can have all those flags. It's the State Department of the United States.'
The department's main atrium, known as the Hall of Flags, had displayed the flags of the roughly 190 countries with which the United States maintains diplomatic relations since the building opened in 1961. For the America 250 celebrations this year, every foreign flag was replaced with an American flag; the new display was unveiled on June 29 by Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and was left in place after the anniversary, drawing criticism that the United States was abandoning the world. Rubio said he had not set out on a crusade to remove the flags, that the old display had stayed for a year and a half, and that the change was made for the 250th anniversary and then kept.
The move follows the 'One Flag' policy Rubio adopted days after taking office in January 2025, under which only the United States flag is authorized at U.S. facilities at home and abroad, with exceptions for the POW/MIA flag and the Wrongful Detainees flag, ending the practice of flying Pride and other flags at embassies.
