American political analyst comments on Donald Trump after the firing of Rex Tillerson

US President Donald Trump

This is the view of the author of the "underground politics" program Justin Russel, who has 25 years of experience developing strategies for US government agencies and companies of the Congress.

Mr. Tillerson and Mr. Trump oppose each other's views on foreign policy. Mr. Trump and Mr. Pompeo have "a clear partisan goal," - the expert said.

"I think they disagreed on some serious foreign policy issues," Russell explained Donald Trump's decision to nominate Rex Tillerson.

"For example, if you look at the Iran deal, Rex Tillerson believes that withdrawing from the Iran deal is not in the interests of the United States. Donald Trump has stated on the Iran deal that he will not certify Iran's commitment to its obligations and leave it to the US Congress to decide. However, just a day before Rex Tillerson announced that negotiations on the Iran issue are proceeding at a rapid pace, no important foreign policy decisions have been agreed upon by Trump and Tillerson," - the expert said.

"For Trump to choose Pompeo, this is a story of absolute propriety. President Trump wants someone who will make the decisions that the president expects. Regardless of his opinion, Pompeo will carry out the party line," - according to Mr. Russell.

As for Gina Haspel, who will replace Pompeo as head of the CIA, she has also shown loyalty to the president, experts say.

"She has a long career in the CIA, she is very well respected, as I know from my own sources in the intelligence community. She will bring a great deal of experience to the job, and I think that since she became deputy director of the CIA, Ms. Haspel and the president have had a business relationship," the expert said.

When asked about how US-Russian relations will develop, the expert simply noted: "I don't know. For some reason, Donald Trump did not impose sanctions. For some reason, we do not have a firm view of the situation that happened in the UK. For some reason, we do not act against Russia, but we must do it in our interests. Maybe the president does not want to, the president is afraid - I do not know."
