Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus said President-elect Trump demonstrated a "great grasp" of foreign affairs following a meeting with him Monday in Trump Tower.
"I was with him for about an hour. He basically walked us around the world. Showed a great grasp of a variety of the challenges that are out there and some of the opportunities as well," Petraeus told reporters as he left the Manhattan skyscraper Monday afternoon.
The former CIA director is a rumored contender for secretary of state. Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani are also in contention for the coveted position, although Trump's inner circle appears split between the two divergent picks.
"Very good conversation and we'll see where it goes from here," Petraeus said after his meeting. "We'll see where it goes from here."
The president-elect tweeted that he was "very impressed" with Petraeus shortly after the two parted ways on Monday.
Trump is set to meet with Romney for the second time on Tuesday amid speculation that the former GOP nominee is one of the president-elect's final candidates for the secretary of state nomination.
Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will also meet with Trump on Tuesday in Manhattan.
Why do I have the feeling we will see betrayus again?
RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!
SOS needs to be a junk yard dog.
Was Trump auditioning for Petraeus?
“”Very good conversation and we’ll see where it goes from here,” Petraeus said after his meeting. “We’ll see where it goes from here.””
Oh! For the love of Pete - don’t tell me repeating what you’ve said is catching!!
“After America Comes North America,” Gen. Petraeus Boasts
Not good.
I’ll take him over Romney as SoS, but I’d prefer neither.
What makes you think so?
Oh! For the love of Pete - don’t tell me repeating what you’ve said is catching!!
He's just sucking up to Trump by copying what Trump does.
WTF is the New American?

General Petraeus did betray no one. As a matter of fact he was betrayed by that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
And that is factual
