In the US administration a new sensation ripens. Head of the State Department Rex Tillerson is going to leave his post shortly.. The reason may be the numerous differences of Tillerson with his patron on aspects of foreign policy.

The sensational news channel CNN. In its publication, the central American telemedia refers to a number of sources familiar with the content of private conversations of the head of US diplomacy.

It all began with the Secretary of State frowning with the recent interview of Donald Trump to the New York Times, in which the head of the White House sharply reprimanded the Minister of Justice and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

In particular, Trump said that if he knew about the intention of the Session to get rid of any decisions to investigate the "Russian influence", he would not appoint him to this post. Tillerson, according to CNN, considered such a public criticism of Trump against his own minister "unprofessional".

In addition, last week in the media, rumors circulated about the disagreements between the White House and the State Department on a number of political issues, including Iran's nuclear program.

According to CNN, before Tillerson in private conversations with friends expressed the intention to remain in office at least until the end of this year. However, now his acquaintances, quoted by the TV channel, would not be surprised if the "Rexite" happens earlier. At the same time, rumors of flare-ups between Tillerson and the White House do appear in the press all the time. One of the most urgent issues is the appointment to the State Department.

Tillerson counted on freedom of action in the selection of his staff, but the White House sometimes try to impose his will on him. As a result, according to recent rumors, at one of the meetings, the Secretary of State lost his temper and raised his voice at the senior employee of the White House.

Finally, Tillerson's disappointment can also be caused by the dispersion of his foreign policy portfolio between him and his advisers in the White House, primarily President's son-in-law Jared Kouchner. Although the latter has no foreign policy experience, Trump instructed him to conduct peace talks between Israel and Palestine. In addition, Kouchner is actively involved in contacts with the leadership of the PRC, Mexico, Saudi Arabia.

Some sources say that Tillerson plans to remain on the post of Secretary of State at least until the end of the year, since during this time he will be able to conduct a major reorganization in the department. Others say that the head of the State Department can withdraw his powers much earlier.

In assessing the veracity of these rumors, it is worth noting that CNN is critical of the administration of Donald Trump and regularly warms up various kinds of scandalous stories around her, primarily concerning the investigation of "Russian influence".



The 65-year-old Tillerson was for many years the top manager of the US oil giant ExxonMobil and for decades of career in the journey from engineer to head of the company. The post of US Secretary of State Tillerson took immediately after the inauguration of Donald Trump.

As previously reported, the resignation went to the press secretary of the White House head Sean Spicer. The reason for his dismissal was the disagreement of Spicer with the appointment of Thoramp businessman Anthony Scaramucci as the White House communications director.
