Washington – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday it would be valuable for President Donald Trump’s transition team to seek State Department recommendations before contacting foreign leaders, but there have been no requests for such talking points.

“We have not been contacted before any of these conversations,” Kerry told a think tank conference. “I do think there is a value, obviously on having at least the recommendations, whether you choose to follow them or not is a different issue, but I think it’s valuable to ask people who work the desk … their input on what’s the current state, is there some particular issue at the moment, I think that’s valuable, and I would certainly recommend it, but, obviously, that hasn’t happened.”
From you?
why would anyone ask him or his flunkies anything . Everything and I mean everything he and Obama touched turned to dreck.
Donald Trump is the master and owner of the U.S. government which has become his domain. Forget about diplomacy and international policy. He will stir the pot to a boiling point and hopefully it will not explode otherwise it will be donald duck sauce
B”H Trump did not ask Kerry for his opinion before calling Taiwan!
Someone should tell Kerry that he should seek some valid advice before making horrible deals that add value only to our aggressors.
Kerry a world fool. Laughing stock of the world. The man is embarrassment.
He shouldn’t talk.
Americans agree Trump should seek advice from Kerry and do the EXACT OPPOSITE to bring back American PRIDE to their nation
It would be valuable for this utter failure of a sect of state to just keep his worthless opinions to himself and go sulking off into the sunset with his even bigger failure of a boss! Mr. Trump will do just fine and doesn’t need these pathetic dems who just can’t seem to get over themselves.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. We see it over and over again.
A word to the bafoons at state. Things are about to change dramatically. You better get ready because it’s becoming pretty obvious that Donald trump cares for no one and nothing and will do whatever he wants for better or for worse. He won’t be intimidated by foreign leaders and certainly not the media.
This Kerry is discussing presidential transition issues at a meeting with leaders of foreign governments, and he has the chutzpe to even say the words diplomatic protocol. What he did in this speach is the embodiment of why he should never have been SOSOTUS.
Did Kerry ask someone if he should say that?
Kerry, resign, get your pension and write a book about your stupid thoughts, and call it: “how to mess anything up”,
It will be a bestseller!
If Kerry says its clear outside take an umbrella and a good rain coat
