After different speculation on who will be the secretary of state for President-elect Donald Trump administration, a source close to the transition team have said that Donald Trump is considering ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of State nominee.
Donald Trump also makes the announcement via his Twitter page he would be announcing his pick for secretary of state on Tuesday.
The president elect described the ExxonMobil CEO as a big player in the world stage, while Democrats and Republicans have raised questions about his candidacy, because of his different ties to Russia.
While speaking with Fox News Sunday, Donald Trump praised Tillerson, and said, He is "much more than a business executive.""I mean, he's a world-class player, He's in charge of, I guess the largest company in the world. He's in charge of an oil company that's pretty much double the size of his next serious competitor."
Mitt Romney was one of the favourably considered for the position, and had met Trump twice, but he wrote on his Facebook account that he was out of consideration, also President-elect Donald Trump has reported to have called him personally and let him know that he would no longer be considered for the position.
