Rex Tillerson took the Secretary of State job to fascilitate removing Russian sanctions so Exxon Mobil could complete their $3.2 billion deal with Russia in the Arctic.

In Febraury 2018 Exxon Mobil cancelled the deal because Tillerson couldn't get the sanctions removed. In March 2018 Tillerson was fired as Secretary of State.

Putin isn't getting a lot of what he wanted from Trump as POTUS. I'm guessing Putin is going to start acting out soon.
