Like Rex Tillerson or not, he probably knows more about the oil industry and its soft spots than anybody else in the world. Four of the world's powers with which we have varying degrees of complex and difficult relationships are Saudi, Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. All depend on their oil industries to finance their existence. Looks like Trump is putting the pressure where it will do the most good,and do it with the least bloodshed.

The key here is that he resigned in SAUDI ARABIA, not in Leb, and did so shortly after meeting with the king-to-be.
