No Rudi Giuliani, in the end. It will not be the former mayor of New York, who retired a few hours ago, who will fill the delicate position of secretary of state in the future Trump administration: the president-elect, who will take office in just over a month, has instead chosen Rex Tillerson, 64, number one of the energy giant Exxon Mobil.
This was reported by the Nbc, at the moment there are no official confirmations. After the withdrawal yesterday of the former mayor of the Big Apple, Tillerson had emerged as the favorite candidate, even compared to the former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who has had various meetings with Trump. Originally from Texas, Tillerson has been with Exxon since 1975 and since 2006 he has been president and CEO of the group: he is considered very close to the Kremlin, so much so that in recent years he has closed many energy agreements with President Vladimir Putin, and has always said he is firmly against European sanctions against Russia .
