The run of Tillerson as the secretary of state can’t be called smooth and, after their tension between him and Trump broke, Tillerson was freed from the position his was occupying.
The following opinion is quite popular: Rex Tillerson will be remembered as the worst secretary of state. Well, one of the worst, anyway. He had no diplomatic experience prior to his position in the White House and that, of course, raised a few eyebrows. Tillerson was the one, proposing all the additions to the military budget and cutting the state department budget.
Trump also wasn’t very shy to talk bad about Tillerson in public, so it was of no surprise that he lost his position. According to the President Mike Pompeo – the current head of the CIA is going to occupy the place of Tillerson. And Gina Haspel will, in her order occupy the CIA head’s office – she will become the first woman to do so.
Allegedly, Tillerson found out about the firing via Trump’s tweet.
