据美国国务院一名官员透露，美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥在周五晚于加州举行的美国队世界杯揭幕战期间，与巴拉圭总统圣地亚哥·佩尼亚举行了会晤。特朗普政府借此机会在这场四年一度的国际足球赛事期间宣传了鲁比奥的外交工作。
一名政府官员对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“鲁比奥国务卿很荣幸出席周五晚的美国首场世界杯比赛，见证了我国取得的精彩胜利。鲁比奥国务卿从未停止推进美国优先事项的工作，他借比赛期间的机会与巴拉圭总统圣地亚哥·佩尼亚会晤，讨论我们的战略伙伴关系。”

此次亮相让两位来自对立政党的美国最具影响力政治人物同场出席，而外界对2028年总统大选的猜测也持续升温。
纽瑟姆多次被问及是否可能竞选总统，他也承认曾考虑过参选总统，不过尚未宣布任何竞选计划。
鲁比奥曾是共和党总统候选人，也是特朗普总统最知名的内阁成员之一，一些政治观察人士同样将他视为未来可能的白宫竞选人。
美国国务院未提供鲁比奥与佩尼亚会晤的更多细节，包括这场会晤是否在赛前安排，以及讨论了哪些具体议题。

Secretary of State Marco Rubio used Team USA’s World Cup opener Friday night in California to meet with Paraguayan President Santiago Peña, according to a State Department official, as the Trump administration highlighted the secretary’s diplomatic work during the quadrennial international soccer tournament.
“Secretary Rubio was honored to attend the first World Cup game in the U.S. Friday night and witness an incredible win for our country. Secretary Rubio never stops working to advance U.S. priorities and used the opportunity to meet with Paraguayan President Santiago Peña during the game to discuss our strategic partnerships,” an administration official told Fox News Digital.
The U.S. men defeated Paraguay, 4-1, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in the opening match of its World Cup campaign.
Rubio’s attendance also generated political interest after reports indicated he would be seated in the same suite as California Gov. Gavin Newsom during the match.

The appearance placed two of the country’s most prominent political figures from opposite parties at the same event as speculation continues about the 2028 presidential race.
Newsom has repeatedly faced questions about a potential White House bid and has acknowledged he has considered a presidential run, though he has not announced any plans to seek the office.
Rubio, a former Republican presidential candidate and one of President Donald Trump’s most visible Cabinet members, has likewise been discussed by some political observers as a potential future contender for the White House.
The State Department did not provide additional details about Rubio’s discussion with Peña, including whether the meeting had been arranged before the match or what specific issues were discussed.

Paraguay has long maintained close ties with the U.S., and is one of Taiwan’s few remaining diplomatic allies in South America, a relationship that has made the country strategically important in the region as the U.S. and China compete for influence across Latin America.
The World Cup is expected to draw government officials, world leaders and political figures from around the globe as matches are held across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
