The North Koreans would have little reason to believe our assurances if we're simultaneously backtracking on related guarantees we've given the Iranians.

Tillerson had been an early advocate of talks with North Korea to the annoyance of Trump, who wanted to keep applying maximum pressure on Pyongyang before responding to an invitation to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the sources said.

Mr Tillerson made a fleeting visit to Jamaica and held talks with Mrs Johnson Smith and Prime Minister Andrew Holness, during which the US's then top diplomat reiterated the strength of the relationship between Kingston and Washington and promised to deepen that cooperation. There is no signal that this region, under the current president, registers on the dial at the White House, or that Mr Tillerson's visit to Jamaica was other than of his own volition. The president regularly undercut Tillerson, once tweeting that he was "wasting his time" in pursuing a diplomatic approach to North Korea.

Director of Intelligence Dan Coats has released a statement on the recently announced changes of leadership at the CIA and Department of State. Before he was sacked, Goldstein released a statement saying Tillerson had not spoken to Trump and that he-Tillerson-didn't know why he was sacked. Among those reportedly being considered to replace McMaster include John Bolton, who served as the USA ambassador to the United Nations under the President George W. Bush administration as well as National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers and others, according to CNN. The sources say that Kelly called Tillerson in Africa Saturday morning and told him that Trump had chose to replace him.

"If the USA quits the nuclear deal, we will also quit it", Araghchi said Wednesday.

Saudi Arabia Warns It Will Pursue Nuclear Weapons If Iran Does
Iran also signed the non-proliferation treaty, and has long insisted its nuclear programmes are for peaceful purposes only. Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally, has been a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons since 1988.

"We disagreed on things", Trump said Tuesday. Here's a prediction: The president will not be condemning Russian Federation.

The meeting has taken many by surprise. Nobody likes to be called a moron, of course, but it had to have been particularly painful for someone as obviously insecure about their intellect as Trump is. Tillerson's chief of staff and deputy chief of staff also submitted their resignations after their boss was sacked. Though there were tensions between the two men, last Christmas it seemed Tillerson had reached a working balance with the President.

During his months in office, Tillerson had pressed Trump to stick with the nuclear agreement with Iran and other world powers. "Why do people get along?" he asked.

"I think Mike Pompeo may not have a lot of impact on Sino-U.S. relations".

"There have been other names that have been floated to be potential Central Intelligence Agency directors in the Trump Administration, who are really hard-line, right-wing sort of political types, including Senator Tom Cotton", Miller says.
