"It was an honor to have been considered for secretary of state of our great country. My discussions with President-elect Trump have been both enjoyable and enlightening. I have very high hopes that the new administration will lead the nation to greater strength, prosperity and peace."
Trump called Romney over the phone to deliver the news. During the 2016 election, the two had an ongoing feud. Romney made remarks about Trump calling him a 'fraud' and 'childish'. Trump responded back insulting Romney about his loss to President Obama and much more. Romney even asked for Republicans to unite against Trump during the election. This made it very surprising to many that Mitt Romney was even in the running for secretary of state. However, the two set their feelings aside and through multiple meetings discussed the possibility of Romney becoming the new secretary of State.
