The head of the US State Department Rex Tillerson may resign due to disagreements with President Donald Trump. It is reported by CNN with reference to informed sources.
According to the sources of the channel, the special discontent of the head of the State Department arouses Trump's attitude to the Iranian problem and issues of personnel policy. In particular, Tillerson is outraged by the Presidential criticism of the Prosecutor General of Jeff Sehns, who took self -reflection in March from participating in the investigation of Russia's intervention in the elections. Trump called this decision "unfair to the president."
In addition, Tillerson is unhappy that the White House does not allow him to independently carry out reforms in the State Department.
According to the sources, the disappointment of Tillerson, as well as his doubts that the "tug of the rope" with the White House will soon end, have increased markedly. Most of the sources believe that Tillerson plans to stay as a state secretary at least until the end of the year. However, according to other sources, Tillerson can resign much earlier.
Prior to appointment to the post of head of the State Department, Tillerson held the posts of the chairman of the board of directors and executive director of the oil company Exxonmobil. At the hearing in Congress, according to his candidacy, Tillerson said that "Russia is a threat today." Subsequently, Tillerson also took a tough position on the issue of relations with Moscow.
On July 21, the White House spokesman Sean Spicer resigned . The reason was his disagreement with the decision of Trump to appoint financier Anthony Skaramucci as the director of communications. The president asked Spicer to continue work. However, he refused to change his decision, calling the appointment of Scaramucci "a big mistake." Scaramucci has a difficult relationship not only with Spice, but also with the head of the presidential apparatus Rainsa Subuse.
