Nikki Haley and Rex Tillerson may need to talk. The Trump administration’s two most prominent foreign-policy figures went on the Sunday shows to sell the President’s Syria strikes — and made two opposite arguments. Haley, the UN ambassador, pushed for regime change in Syria, while Secretary of State Tillerson argued that could make things worse. The president hasn’t publicly commented on the regime change question since the strikes.
This is significant because Trump campaigned about not wanting the country to be drawn into another regime change scenario, since the last few attempts at regime change didn’t turn out so great.
