Hadley: Tillerson Brings a ‘Wealth of Experience and Contacts’ to the Trump Admin

‘Rex Tillerson has been working in those locations negotiating deals, getting to know leaders and I think that experience and those set of relationships will be useful to the president-elect’

EXCERPT:

HADLEY: "Well I think he'd be a good one. I do know him. My colleagues Bob Gates and Condi Rice know him much better. They’ve had a more long-standing relationship, but I do know him. I think he would bring a wealth of experience and context to the new administration. You know, someone in the media said if there’s a job outside of government that’s most like being secretary of state it’s probably being the CEO of Exxon Mobil. Oil and gas seems to be in some of the most difficult and challenging locations around the world, and Rex Tillerson has been working in those locations negotiating deals, getting to know leaders and I think that experience and those set of relationships will be useful to the president-elect."
