Pres. Trump says Rex Tillerson, his former secretary of State, was 'ill prepared and ill equipped' for the job.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday again called his former secretary of state, Rex Tillerson,"dumb as a rock" in a tweet responding to comments Tillerson made in a closed-door meeting with lawmakers this week questioning Trump's handling of meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2017.
Tillerson told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee that Putin"out-prepared" the president in a 2017 meeting in Hamburg, German that turned into a"a globe-spanning two-hour-plus session involving deliberations on a variety of geopolitical issues," according to a Democratic committee aide. The Washington Post first reported the details of Tillerson's testimony to the committee.
In a prepared statement to the committee, Tillerson said it was “no secret that President Trump and I disagreed” on some elements of foreign policy. “But at bottom, President Trump and I shared a common goal: to secure and advance America’s place in the world and to promote and protect American values.”
“My time in government is over, but I hope that my testimony today will help you as you continue to do the critical work of this Committee” Tillerson said in the statement. After a rocky partnership, Trump fired Tillerson on March 13, 2018 -- announcing the decision in a tweet. Tillerson stayed on the job until March 31.
Before joining the Trump administration, Tillerson served as CEO of Exxon Mobil, the international oil and gas company.
