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

US President Donald Trump

This is the opinion of the author of the program "underground politics" 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 stated on the Iran deal that he would not certify Iran's commitment to its obligations and leave it to the US Congress to make a decision. However, just a day ago Rex Tillerson stated that negotiations on the Iran issue were proceeding at a rapid pace, no important foreign policy decisions were 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 lot 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 have to do it in our interests. Maybe the president does not want to, the president is afraid - I don't know."
