WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will remain in office contrary to reports that he was going to resign, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a press briefing.

"The Secretary has been very clear he intends to stay here at the State Department," Nauert said on Tuesday.

On Monday, CNN reported that Tillerson was considering resigning from the State Department before the end of the year due to growing frustration with President Donald Trump's administration.

The report claimed Tillerson was at odds with the White House over several issues including department staffing and Iran policy.
