EXXON CEO IS REPORTEDLY TRUMP'S PICK FOR SECRETARY OF STATE|艾克森美孚CEO 川普國務卿熱門人選

US media reported that President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing oil mogul ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as the Secretary of State. However, many have questioned his nomination because of his close relationship with Russian President Putin and the fact that he has never served in public office. According to sources close to Donald Trump's transition team, Trump may be nominating Rex Tillerson as the Secretary of State this week. They already met twice last week and even had a two-hour conversation on the morning of Dec 10. ==DONALD TRUMP, US President-elect== To me, a great advantage is he knows many of the players. He knows them well. He does massive deals in Russia. He does massive deals for the company himself. Tillerson is 64 years old and currently the ExxonMobil CEO and chairman. He is in close contact with Russian President Putin because of ExxonMobil's global business activities. He even received the Order of Friendship from Putin in 2013. This has raised many questions since the CIA just made a public statement saying that they have evidence that proves Russia attempted to influence the US presidential election results using hackers. Moreover, Tillerson has never worked in public office. Trump's cabinet nominations are filled with high-profile millionaires or billionaires who have close ties with the Wall Street. It remains a question whether or not these wealthy elites at the top of the pyramid will be able to come up with policies that cater to the needs of the poor and middle class. TRANSLATED BY：CHRISTINA LIU 美國媒體引述親近川普交接團隊的消息來源，表示川普可能在這星期提名堤勒森出任國務卿。兩人上星期已經見過兩次面，10號早上甚至在川普大樓談了兩個多鐘頭。 ==美國總統當選人 川普== 對我而言他有優勢 他跟重要人物的關係好 除了俄羅斯跟其他人重要人士 也有過商業上的往來 現年64歲的堤勒森，在2004年出任市值第五大的上市公司，艾克森美孚總裁兼執行長，因為公司在全球的布局，讓他跟俄羅斯總統蒲亭往來密切。2013年更獲蒲亭頒發友誼勳章，引發美國輿論質疑，因為日前才傳出美國中央情報局，表示有證據顯示，俄羅斯利用駭客，企圖影響這次美國總統大選結果。加上堤勒森只有能源產業的資歷也沒有公職經驗，他的提名勢必會在國會引發熱烈討論。 目前川普的內閣，除了滿天星星，就是金光閃閃。這些億萬、百萬富豪閣員，不僅跟華爾街關係密切，生活在金字塔頂端的他們，真的能制定出符合窮人跟中產階級所期待的政策嗎?頗受外界的質疑。 記者 陳秋玫 報導
