Rex Tillerson has been sworn in as the new US Secretary of State. On Wednesday the Senate approved President Trump’s choice for the post by 56 to 43 votes.
Radio Sputnik discussed the issue with Doug Wead, political analyst and New York Times bestselling author, who has also served as an adviser to two American presidents.
Commenting on what the new appointment will mean for US-Russia relations, the expert said:
“I think it will be good for US-Russia relations because he [Tillerson] is well informed, and the decisions he makes will be made from experience, and not out of ignorance. Sometimes, countries — in this case, the United States and Russia — misunderstand each other, their people, and the desires of their people, and the history of their people. And that ignorance can lead to misunderstandings, which can lead to war,” the expert told Sputnik.
