Several news outlets have confirmed that President Trump currently has a plan to replace Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with CIA chief Mike Pompeo. The unprecedented move would cut the former ExxonMobil CEO's tenure short, following a frayed relationship with Trump over a variety of issues ranging from climate change to the Iran nuclear deal to the diplomatic crisis between US allies in the Persian Gulf. The plan is reportedly being overseen by Trump's chief of staff. Pompeo would reportedly be replaced by Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas who is an ally of Trump's on national security matters.
