Rex W. Tillerson

Secretary of State

Treaty Room

Washington, DC

March 5, 2018


SECRETARY TILLERSON: Good afternoon, all. I want to welcome our terrific partners from the Baltic states back for another visit here at the State Department – an important relationship obviously for us, important to NATO. We’ll have a lot of interesting things to talk about, get caught up on since we last saw one another. So I want to welcome them.

QUESTION: Secretary Tillerson, when the President said that a few days ago North Korea called up and wanted to talk, what was he referring to?

SECRETARY TILLERSON: You’ll have to ask the White House.

QUESTION: Is the State Department doing enough to counter Russia’s disinformation efforts?

SECRETARY TILLERSON: We have more to do. Thank you.
