UAE was lobbying for his removal over Qatar


Leaked emails show UAE-linked source 'tried to get Trump to fire Tillerson'

Emails show UAE-linked effort against Tillerson

The BBC has obtained leaked emails that show a lobbying effort to get US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sacked for failing to support the United Arab Emirates against regional rival Qatar.

Major Trump fundraiser and UAE-linked businessman Elliott Broidy met US President Donald Trump in October 2017 and urged him to sack Mr Tillerson, the emails reveal.

In other emails, he calls the top US diplomat "a tower of Jello", "weak" and says he "needs to be slammed".


Banana Republic indeed.

I thought Russia and Tillerson were thick as thieves? Now Tillerson has to go because he's not friendly with Russia?:dwillhuh:
Anyone who criticizes Russia must go. Watch what happens to McMaster. I'll be surprised if he's still NSA advisor by the summer.

Either Trump is firing them because he's scared of what Russia has on him, or the Russians are telling him to do it. Just like that report that the Russians possibly blocked Romney from being Secretary of State cause he had a hard stance on them.

If you say so.:hubie:

It's just weird that Tillerson was the Russia puppet a when he was appointed, and now that he's fired he's the Russia critic. Unless you're saying Tillerson wasn't the Russian puppet the left claimed. :francis:

The Exxon-Mobil (company he used to run) and Rosneft-Russia deal went down the drain last week because of the sanctions. He openly criticized Russia this week........

War with Iran is going to happen. Trump will kill the Iran deal which will further isolate America.
The rest of the world won't go along with it. Trump has gone too far at this point in antagonizing allies(sanctions, climate change, pro-Russia all the time) to rally the world into a war with Iran.

Even Israel would give pause if it meant an all out war with just them and the US.

But he's been rumored to be on the chopping block for months. I don't buy that Tillerson's firing has anything to do with Russia, but I do fear that a push for war with Iran may be on the horizon. Now we have Pompeo. God, I hope I'm wrong though.

The plan to oust Tillerson and elevate Pompeo to State has been rumored and written about for several months.

The plan was "developed by John Kelly, the White House chief of staff"
