Tillerson Seen As Top Pick for Secretary of State

ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson has emerged as the top candidate for secretary of state, the Washington Post reports.

“Tillerson and former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney were two of the finalists… Both Tillerson and Romney are business executives with international experience in the for-profit world. But Tillerson would come into the job with a clean slate politically, while Romney’s candidacy had come under fire from some Trump aides who think the former governor went too far in his opposition to Trump during the campaign.”
