Sacked Tillerson: US must respond to Russia’s behavior

Outgoing US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warns in his farewell remarks that Washington must do more to respond to Russia’s “troubling behavior and actions.”

After he is sacked by US President Donald Trump, Tillerson also says US efforts to pressure North Korea had worked better than expected and reveals he will pass authority to his deputy at midnight.

The former oil executive says he will remain at the department until March 31 to conclude an administrative handover, but that Deputy Secretary John Sullivan will take charge.
