President-elect Donald Trump will nominate Rex Tillerson to be the 69th secretary of state. The ExxonMobil CEO will also serve as a member of the National Security Council.
A statement from Trump’s transition team on Tuesday says Tillerson, 64, is "a forceful and clear-eyed advocate for America’s vital national interests" and will “help reverse years of misguided foreign policies and actions that have weakened America's security and standing in the world.”
