Trump Removes Tillerson at as Secretary of State
The news was first reported by The Washington Post.
Tillerson and Trump have had a tempestuous relationship, so it was not shocking that Tillerson would be removed.
At the same time, the timing of Tillerson’s firing was a surprise given the diplomatic workload at the moment.
Trump on Thursday shocked the world by accepting an invitation to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, which would make him the first U.S. president to even meet with a North Korea leader.
Trump and Tillerson had repeatedly clashed, most famously when the secretary of State reportedly referred to Trump in private as a “moron.”
