Just how awkward was Rex Tillerson’s first trip to Moscow as secretary of state? Very.Russia’s foreign minister publicly warned Washington’s top diplomat against any further U.S. military strikes on the Syrian regime, questioned Tillerson’s respect for history and even chided him for not filling State Department jobs quickly enough. And Russian President Vladimir Putin kept him waiting for hours before finally agreeing to see him.“There is a low level of trust between our two countries,” Tillerson told reporters, in one of Wednesday’s biggest understatements.
