Heard on All Things Considered
Rex Tillerson is heading on his second foreign trip as secretary of state later this week. But, as in his visit last week to Germany, Tillerson is expected to try to keep a low profile when he travels to Mexico on Wednesday.
Tillerson has said very little in public since taking office. There has been no State Department briefing since the Trump administration began a month ago.
For two days at last week's G-20 meetings in Bonn, where Tillerson was meeting with his counterparts from the group of 20 leading economies, reporters tried and failed to get the secretary of state to weigh in on some of the key foreign policy issues facing the Trump administration.
"Met a lot of new friends," Tillerson said with a laugh at a photo op.
