Mr Tillerson's tenure has been dogged with rumors about his unhappiness with Mr Trump's policies, but the Secretary of State offered a vigorous defence of both the U.S. president and his foreign policy goals.

In his press conference, Tillerson said that he had "never considered leaving his post", and that he was proudly part of a team that was helping to "make America great again". "I do not and I will not operate that way", he said, responding to a question on news reports that he had offered to resign.

Word is that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called the president a "moron" over the summer.
In response, the President publicly dismissed the NBC report as "fake news" and "totally made up" while on a trip to Las Vegas.
