This is on Thursday, November 30, writes The New York Times referring to sources in the administration of the US president. It is reported that the reins of the CIA will take on the loyal president of the American leader Donald Trump, the Republican senator from Arkansas, Tom Cotton. It is noted that for the time being the head of the State Department does not get along very well with the owner of the Oval Office. According to the publication, Trump and Tillerson disagree on a number of important issues, including the Iranian nuclear deal, the confrontation with North Korea and the clash between the Arab allies. As previously reported, the secretary in a private conversation called the president "moron," and he publicly criticized Tillerson for "spending his time" on diplomatic work with the DPRK. The resignation of the head of the State Department was widely discussed for many months, but his colleagues noted that he plans to finalize by the end of the year to preserve dignity, the newspaper writes.. Thus, if the resignation takes place, Tillerson will hold on as Secretary of State for the shortest period of 120 years in the history of the American Foreign Ministry. Earlier there was information that in the post of the head of the State Department the administration sees the US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, but Pompeo became a favorite of the White House, impressed by Trump with his daily briefings on intelligence. Recall, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of the oil company "ExxonMobil" Tillerson took the post of US Secretary of State on February 1, 2017. In 2012, for his great contribution to the development and strengthening of cooperation with the Russian Federation, he was awarded the Order of Friendship.
