(CNSNews.com) – People around the world “do not have the time to pay attention to what’s happening domestically” in the United States, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Thursday, disputing a suggestion that difficulties facing President Trump at home may be affecting his credibility or hampering foreign policy.
On the contrary, Tillerson described the attitude of foreign leaders as one of expectation and of welcoming “America returning to the scene.”
“I have had the opportunity now to pretty well interact and meet with leaders from Europe to Russia to Central Asia to the Middle East, to Africa, to Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, so I have a pretty good exposure now to the – globally – to how the world is seeing the current administration,” he told reporters at the State Department.
After a period viewed by many leaders – especially in the region the president is about the visit – as one of “neglect, to outright dismissal of their concerns,” Tillerson continued, “they’re ready for re-engagement with America.”
