Debkafile: “Rex Tillerson, Chairman an CEO of Exxon Mobil, was named this week as the next administration’s Secretary of State to execute the tough foreign policies charted by president-elect Donald Trump, including his decision to stiffen the nuclear accord signed with Iran as soon as he moves into the White House on Jan. 20.
The teams preparing the Trump administration’s Iran policy were put in place last week by Tillerson and designated national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
No members of the incumbent NSC, State Department, Pentagon or Treasury, who managed the Obama administration’s Iran policy, was invited to take part.”
Opinion: That, and we are still 5 weeks away from DJT taking the Oath of Office.
- On January 20, 1981 Ronald Reagan took the Oath of Office becoming 40th President of the United States
- On January 21, 1981 Iran released the 52 hostages that had been held in captivity 444 days under President Jimmy Carter
What was it about history rhyming?
