Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson is Donald Trump's pick for the Department of State Post. Tillerson's reputation raised questions among politicians as he is known a good friend with Russia's Vladimir Putin.

The official announcement confirming Donald Trump's final decision comes out in the middle of this week. Rex Tillerson is one of the United States faces of big industries and popular with his association with Russia and President Vladimir Putin.

If this appointment is given confirmation, so it does give confirmation with the recent CIA Report that Russia's intervention in the US Election is all true. President Barack Obama made an order for CIA to conduct a review on the last US Election.

Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson and his Russian Association

The business executive is a world-class player and perhaps owns the biggest company in the world, in particular, his company's Russian deal. In fact, in 2013, Vladimir Putin bestowed Rex Tillerson the Russian Order of Friendship.

Exxon Mobil and Russia made a pact that Russia will grant the company access to drill oil in the Russian Artic, provided that in turn OAO Rosneft is able to invest in Rex Tillerson's overseas operation. OAO Rosneft head operation Igor Sechin is a close friend of the Exxon Mobil CEO. Sechin in 1990 worked as an interpreter for then Mayor of Moscow, Vladimir Putin.

Rex Tillerson And His Qualifications

Running one of the United States and the world's largest company, Donald Trump sees Rex Tillerson as the best diplomat than a successful businessman. His ties in the global stage are immeasurable and he got the potential of bringing investors in the United States to provide more job for Americans.

Rex Tillerson also got literal issues with Vladimir Putin during the annexation of Crimea which affected much Tillerson's deal in the country. Donald trump said, "He does massive deals in Russia not for himself, but for the company."
