Tillerson vs. Pompeo: What Trump's Cabinet shakeup might mean
Tillerson, who was traveling in Africa, had told reporters just a day earlier that the US was "a long ways from negotiations" with Pyongyang. I thought that was very deplorable and unfortunate the way it happened.
The most important qualification for any secretary of state is the trust of the president. When the Bush administration faced scrutiny for what it called "enhanced interrogation" years later, according to ProPublica, Haspel "drafted an order to destroy the evidence". Despite his insistence otherwise, the latter has never been the "team of rivals" type.
"Ironically, Mr. Tillerson had been the administration" s strongest advocate for a diplomatic solution to the North Korean crisis.
One of the key questions concerning this shift is whether it will affect the meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un planned to take place before May.
But Radsan adds that those sessions were deemed legal by White House lawyers at the time, though that judgment was condemned by a wide array of critics.
Cheney commented Wednesday on footage of Fox News' Harris Faulkner interviewing Paul about his opposition to both Haspel's confirmation, and the confirmation of current CIA Director Mike Pompeo to be secretary of state. USA sanctions will resume unless Trump issues fresh "waivers" to suspend them on May 12. He has led covert cyber-efforts to undermine Mr. Kim's nuclear program and missile tests.
So there it is: at the very moment that Trump prepares to tackle the most delicate security issue facing the world, he has chosen to empower his most aggressive advisers and silence the voices of caution.
Pompeo, who often delivers the president's intelligence briefing in person, enjoys a better relationship with Trump.

Pompeo, a passionate ally of Israel, could soon be in charge of USA diplomacy as the president takes on high-stakes talks with North Korea.
The secretary of state landed back at Joint Base Andrews to have a member of staff inform him that the president had tweeted.
That's why a confrontation with Iran could also be in the offing.
"When you look at the Iran deal: I think it's awful, I guess he thinks it was OK".
Bob Corker, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee that will process Pompeo, said in a statement: "As I shared with the president, the committee will consider his nomination as expeditiously as possible".
Haspel worked as chief of staff to the Central Intelligence Agency director of clandestine operations, Jose Rodriguez, from 2003 to 2005. Kevin de León made his own position clear, saying he would vote "no" on confirming Haspel if he were elected to the U.S. Senate.
Iran played down the potential impact on its landmark 2015 nuclear deal with world powers of the appointment of the hawkish Mike Pompeo as the new USA secretary of state, saying the change was an internal US matter. Instead, he will go down as one of the worst.
