Reuters
Rex Tillerson, the president and chief executive of ExxonMobil, has been officially named as Donald Trump’s choice for secretary of state, setting up a potential confirmation fight in the Senate, The Guardian reports.
Senators from both parties have raised concerns about his lack of experience and close ties to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
"His tenacity, broad experience and deep understanding of geopolitics make him an excellent choice for secretary of state," Trump said. "He will promote regional stability and focus on the core national security interests of the United States."
