In a statement this morning, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reaffirmed his commitment to President Trump’s agenda, addressing what he called “erroneous rumors” in news reports this morning.
An NBC report said Vice President Mike Pence had to convince Tillerson to stay on in his role in the administration.
Tillerson said Pence never had to convince him because “I’ve never considered leaving this post.”
