Rick Perry, international man of mystery
Don Surber by Don Surber

President Trump may be the Great Negotiator but he is using his Cabinet members more than any president to conduct international negotiations. His North Korea talks began in April 2017 when he sent Vice President Mike Pence on a 10-nation tour to get our allies on board. There were other topics as well.

The next month he went on his first foreign trip. Not only was then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Air Force One but Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as well.

Before he was secretary of state, Mike Pompeo met Kim Jong Un as CIA director.

But the shocker came this week when President Trump sent Energy Secretary Rick Perry to work with allies on the sanctions against Iran. Reuters had a story about it on Sunday.

"Perry will meet Khalid al-Falih, Saudi Arabia's energy minister, and other officials from the kingdom, the world's largest oil exporter, in Washington on Monday morning, a U.S. government source said," Reuters reported.

"Perry, al-Falih and Darren Woods, the chief executive of ExxonMobil, were introduced on Saturday to the crowd at a Texas A&M University football game in College Station, Texas. All three attended the university."

Football diplomacy.

"The U.S. energy secretary will also meet with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak on Thursday in Moscow, according to the U.S. source and a diplomatic source said," Reuters reported.

"Perry will be the most senior U.S. official to visit Russia since President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in July to try to improve ties that have dipped to a post-Cold War low."

A post-Cold War low? But the political press told me President Trump was Putin's puppet.

President Trump is the main event in his presidency. Of that there can be no mistake. But he is great at diverting attention while his executives get the hard work done. He also put together an all-star team for his Cabinet, and he is putting them to good use.
