Rex Tillerson is out as Secretary of State and CIA director Mike Pompeo is in. President Trump made the announcement in a tweet on Tuesday morning just minutes after a report in the Washington Post was published. Tillerson disagreed with the White House on a number of issues such as the Iran nuclear deal and the best approach to talks with North Korea. Gina Haspel will became the new CIA director once Pompeo becomes Secretary of State. She is the first woman to ever serve in this role. Meanwhile, President Trump issued an executive order blocking Broadcom's hostile takeover bid for rival chipmaker Qualcomm. Trump cited national security concerns as the reason for interfering with the acquisition. Many experts speculate this is part of growing concerns over China's influence in mobile technology. Qualcomm is the largest mobile chipmaker in the U.S. Broadcom is currently based in Singapore but is moving its headquarters back to the states next month.
