Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

Buhari and his legendary negative energy. Hours after meeting Buhari, Rex Tillerson was sacked. I hereby warn American leaders and officials including President @realDonaldTrump to avoid Nigeria while Buhari is in power. The man is not conducive to progress. Learn from Tillerson!

WH official says chief of staff John Kelly called Tillerson Friday and again on Saturday. Both calls to Tillerson, the official says, warned that Trump was about to take imminent action if he did not step aside. When Tillerson didn't act, Trump fired him.
