WASHINGTON More than a month after he became America's top diplomat, Rex Tillerson is like no other modern secretary of State: He's largely invisible.
He has given no media interviews and has not held a single news conference. He has made two brief trips abroad and was overshadowed both times by other Cabinet officials. His news releases are chiefly independence day greetings to other nations.
The White House blocked him from appointing his choice for a deputy, so he still has none. Dozens of assistant secretary positions, the diplomats who head bureaus for specific regions and issues, also are unfilled.
Tillerson only occasionally meets President Donald Trump or his staff at the White House, and he has been conspicuously absent from key meetings and conversations with foreign leaders.
