White House 'talking about replacing' Rex Tillerson as US Secretary of State
The White House is discussing a plan to oust Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and replace him with CIA director Mike Pompeo in a major shake-up of President Donald Trump's national security team, two administration officials have said.
The move would put Mr Pompeo, a former congressman who has grown close to Mr Trump during his tenure at the top of the CIA, in charge of US diplomacy.
