David Makovsky on the challenges the nominated US secretary of state may face

[ssba]

“I think a question [Rex] Tillerson will be asked at the [Senate] hearings beyond the focus on Russia is how [can] someone whose business background made him a sceptic on economic sanctions [against Iran] now be the one who will have to enforce them and even advocate for more in certain instances?”
