WASHINGTON — The Trump administration would begin formal international engagements this week when Marco Rubio — expected to be confirmed soon as secretary of state — meets with the foreign ministers of India, Japan and Australia, U.S. officials say.
Rubio’s meetings, together and separately, on Tuesday with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Indian Foreign Minister S.

The three ministers will all be attending Trump’s inauguration.
